The article presents the study of the light transmittance of a colorless car varnish. The varnish was tested at different temperatures for UV light transmission and the ability to protect car paint pigments from degradation. These tests make it possible to assess the durability and quality of the varnish. A comparison of light transmittance through glass, quartz glass and solar glass was made. It has been noted that the curing temperature of the varnish has an impact on its transmission (up to a few percent). A similar effect has been observed in the case of varnish with a hardener.

“…In a study done by Kaur et al [32], examination has been done on the layers of automotive paint chips collected from Maruti Suzuki from Kottayam region of Kerala using SEM-EDX. The result shows the presence of Thallium in white and grey paint samples and Aluminium in the red paint samples of automobile paint.…”

Forensic applications of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) are found mostly in areas where there is a need for good imaging at relatively high magnifications. SEM enables the forensic scientist to examine specimens at much higher magnification than those possible with optical microscopy and without the difficulties of specimen preparation associated with conventional electron microscope. Physicochemical examinations of gunshot residues, called also chemical ballistics, are helpful, e.g. in identification of damages and injuries as the effect of the use of firearms (with indicating the entrance and exit of projectile), estimation of the shooting distance and also establishing, whether a person has used a firearm. It is discussed in details that Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) can serve as a powerful tool for forensic scientists to classify and discriminate evidence material because they can simultaneously examine the morphology and the elemental composition of objects.
