Answer: B. Comparison

Comparison microscope is used for the comparison of the suspected specimen bullet or cartridge obtained from the scene of crime with the one which is obtained after test firing. It exhibit two sample stages and the field of view of two bullets is compelled into one view so that the similarities and differences among the samples can be observed properly by direct comparison. The samples can be rotated to 360° to allow the comparison of surface features.
