**Ingredients: A sample from an organic tissue(or ash), a microscopemonocle, several microscope slides and a scalpel.**Process: To produce the means to analyse the sample, the biotharumaturge first needs to incantate the monocle for about an hour. The scalpel is “inked” with the blood of the vampire and used to scribble runes and symbols on the metal part of the monocle while chanting. Once completed, the monocle acquires a red tint on the glass and the metal blackens, while the runes start glowing a visible red. The artifact maintains its properties until destroyed and thus this part of the ritual does not need to be performed every time. To prepare the samples, the biothaumaturge slashes the tissue into a thin laminar shape and mounts the microscope slides around them as she would do with any other sample that you want to analyse in a microscope. Using the blood from a self-inflicted wound as a staining methodon the slides, she then proceeds to perform an examination through the microscope for about an hourexamine them.**System: Each success on the activation roll yields one piece of simple information about the subject, which may be any living, unliving or dead entity (but not an inanimate object), including plants. This information is limited to physical characteristics of the subject - Thaumaturgical Forensics can be used to determine gender, clan, traces of diablerie and the like, but it will not reveal if a given subject killed an individual or where she kept her trove of personal belongings. A critical roll may yield the knowledge of a weakness to exploit at ST discretion while a complete failure yields the destruction of the sample. If the microscopes slides are prepared correctly, they can be used again for further examination up to half the Science rating of the user rounded up, without the need of additional Rouse CheckChecks.|duration=One scene.
