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
