Comparison microscope was first introduced to the European scientists for firearms identification and other forensic uses by Sir Sydney Smith (Thorwald ,1964,wiki,) In the late 1920s, Swedish criminalist Harry Söderman drastically improved the comparison microscope by inventing a system for rotating the bullets under the objectives.
