Technology has greatly changed each aspect of individuals' lives, together with the resolving of crimes in the criminal justice system. These advancements in technology have made solving crimes simple and easy. Forensic tools and technology are used in the forensic science process to produce samples and proof to resolve offenses. Some of the measurements that are utilized in this process include dealing with body fluids, analyzing drugs or chemicals, DNA identification, fingerprinting, and analysis of evidence. There are several forensic tools and technologies that are used in the criminal justice system today, and they include Phenom desktop SEM, alternative light photography, digital surveillance for gaming equipment, facial reconstruction, and DNA sequencing. Other technologies consist of high-powered microscopes, 3D scanners, drug testing, link analysis software, and automated fingerprint identification (Prasanthi, 2016). The Phenom SEM is considered the most appropriate instrument for forensic experts since it is easy to apply, fast, and a high-quality imaging device with the additional capacity of defining basic composition. Through that, experts are able to solve criminal cases reliably and quickly.

There are certain advantages and disadvantages in relation to forensic tools and technology because this field is relatively new, and criminal cases are normally addressed with physical evidence. The primary advantage of forensic tools and technologies is the capability to search and examine a collection of data proficiently and quickly (Umar, Riadi, & Zamroni, 2018). Experts are enabled to look out for keywords in a hard drive in various languages, which is significant since cyber-crimes can easily go beyond the internet. The valued information that has been lost and deleted by criminals may be recovered, which becomes significant evidence in judicial courts. Additionally, the use of reports acquired by forensic tools is important because one can easily trace back the originality of data. Nevertheless, forensic tools and technologies have some disadvantages, such as high costs of recovering data and inadvertent disclosure of privileged documents. Other limitations include suffering some volatility and tampering with reports prior to the investigation.
