I've finished it, but have one query:

3D - Forensic test (4) - ESDA

All the letters come from other answers, but I can't find a reference anywhere to an ESDA test.

Apparently this is an abbreviation for a machine used in forensic testing of paper.

Glad I could help. There's use of the word in Sir Walter Scott's 'Guy Mannering'.
