PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
OPTIMAL APPLICATION
Improving the working efficiency of forensic experts:
- Visual examination of materia evidence with the view of detecting forensically significant traces and marks (impressions of hands, shoeprints, traces of burglary, etching, wiping off, erasing, filled-in scratches or inscriptions and indented writing, etc.)
- Evidential photography
Functional capabilities:
- Examination and photography of objects in reflected, transmitted and oblique light
- Examination and photography of objects using the dark-field method
- Examination of objects in UV and IR rays
- Shadow-free photography of 3D objects
- Precise positioning of objects of any shape and size for examination and at any angle to the camera by using diverse accessories
PRODUCT INTERACTION
Acquired images of fingerprints can be transferred to PAPILLON AFIS. Use the FOSKO kit for photographing latent handprints on crime scenes, and PhoBox for taking pictures of shoeprints or tire marks.
Photos captured with the ExpertLab tools can be further processed with the RASTR software.

KEY BENEFITS
Object, bottle and ruler holders – positioning and examination of objects of any size at any angle relative to the camera allowing you to free your hands and get the best quality images:
Detection of volumetric, barely visible traces and marks in oblique light
Photography of undeveloped and dusty latent prints
The translucent platform allows you to take pictures in transmitted light (e.g., evidence lifted with lifting tapes, latents on glass, etc.)
The dark-field box enables glare-free dark-field photography (e.g., taking pictures of glossy covers)
Fill-in (booster) light and spotlight sources with adjustable brightness and width of the light beam – Fill-in light sources are mounted on rigid holders that allow vertical and horizontal change of their position, change of the angle of tilt and rotation. They can be covered with an adjustable slit shade in order to produce a flat beam of light. The spotlights are mounted on flexible holders.
IR emitter and UV source – IR emitter is mounted on a flexible holder, its light flux is adjusted with a dimmer
