xxxFrancis Lee: 7:46am Sep 19, 2006: What's the context, i.e. why and for whose eyes are you translating a police report?
analisa: 11:12am Sep 19, 2006: Es geht um die Beschreibung der Ruptur einer ektopischen Schwangerschaft, die einen plötzlichen Tod verursachte. Die Verstorbene wurde leblos aufgefunden. Der Tod wurde bei der Polizei angezeigt... "Biological (micro)traces"?

| | traces | Erklärung:
I would translate it something like this:
"At the location where the corpse was discovered, biological trace evidence was the only indication..."
- or -
"At the location where the corpse was discovered, evidence from biological traces was the only indication..."
Here's why:
Although technically, "microtraces" is not incorrect, it is redundant. "Traces" already means "tiny" or "micro." "Microtraces" is a pleonasm. It's like the classic English triple-pleonasm: "completely surrounded on all four sides." "Surrounded" already means "completely." "Surrounded" already means "on all four sides." "Surrounded" suffices, as does "trace."
Ever since English's rise to world preeminence, the frequency of such pleonasms has skyrocketed. Pleonasms are bad English, pure and simple.
Checking the Internet for "microtraces," we find it very seldom used:
(Since this is dealing with biological evidence, we can rule out inorganic terminology.)
Google -> Advanced Search -> English Language Only -> Contains the word -> "microtraces" without the words -> "paint cosmetics salts ammonium tool tools neutrons fiber fibers ferent elavak pottery titanium materials vynil mercury drugs Fe glass"
Results: 25 English pages. Of the 25 citations, 8 are repeats, and 5 are not in English. That leaves 12 occurrences total on the Internet via Google.
Checking the Internet for "biological traces" including the word "evidence" (an added limitation not imposed on "microtraces" above), we find it in general use:
Google -> Advanced Search -> English Language Only -> with the Exact Phrase -> "biological trace" with the Word(s) -> "evidence"
Results: 18,100 English pages.
If we check for "biological" "traces" "evidence" and, in addition, force exclusion of all citations with the word "micro," we find:
Results: 16,300,000 English Pages
(Sixteen Million Pages. In contrast, "microtraces" and "evidence" turn up a mere 116 citations.)

| microscopic traces
Erklärung:
Found this in the Internet in a forensic report.... maybe it helps to put you on the right track:
.......auch kleinste *ANTRAGUNGEN* („Mikrospuren“) von ...
hence my translation of microscopic traces..... But really not sure.
