Crime-lite® Eye
The Crime-lite® Eye is a simple pocket-sized device that helps crime scene examiners to achieve optimum dark adaptation when entering a dark environment to search for evidence using a forensic light source.
During darkness adaptation, as the brain attempts to interpret and understand its surroundings, an examiner’s vision suffers from low acuity and greatly reduced colour sensitivity. As a result of this, the examiner’s ability to detect faint fluorescence, stimulated by a forensic light source, is significantly reduced.
A 2013 study by the UK Centre for Applied Science and Technology (CAST) demonstrated that examinations conducted without proper dark adaptation would result in evidence being missed.
