Factual errors

Dr. Hodgins identifies the tick he found on the victim as a Hyalomma impeltatum, a bont-legged tick, but the picture shown on the screen of his computer is a picture of a Dermacentor variabilis, the American Dog Tick. They showed the picture of the wrong tick on his computer.
It is possible to make X-Rays with Scotch tape in a vacuum, but the X-Rays produced are not of a quality to give a good diagnostic image. Also it is depicted that they use Polaroid type film that doesn't need special developing. X-Ray film is held in a tray that has filters on it to prevent scattered X-Rays from clouding up the image. The film itself needs to be developed in special chemicals in a dark room.
Angela says the victim was injured in Beslan but the newspaper article she is referencing says the accident occurred in Chechnya. Beslan is in North Ossetia, not Chechnya.
The seats in Veterans Stadium were multicolored shades of red, brown, orange, and yellow until 1994 when they were replaced with the blue seats. There is zero chance that Booth and his dad sat in those seats during the World Series in 1980.

Character error

Cam states that it would be very unusual for someone of North American Indian descent to be born abroad, this is incorrect as some tribes have high numbers of members in military service and it is not unusual for individuals to be stationed abroad and then get married or have children.
All those potatoes are not needed to make electricity. It is the metals that make the electricity, the potatoes are just the medium for the electron to flow. The lab would have had all the acids and salts needed to make a better battery (and much smaller).
Early in the episode, Cam states that the murder victim has no active virions. She mispronounces this, giving the first vowel sound the long I sound of virus instead of the short I sound of virulent.
