A forensic investigation on determining the cause of death often depends upon the analysis of the evidence of the time since death, otherwise known as the postmortem interval (PMI). While several macroscopic observations can be utilized to determine the PMI, microscopy techniques, particularly electron microscopy (EM), can provide more accurate PMI estimates. For example, EM has successfully been used to study morphological alterations in human nerves to assess wha...
