The use of bandpass filters with light sources may reveal evidence which was undetectable with the use of a standard longpass filter. Bandpass filters can also increase the contrast between evidence and substrate to better analyse its morphology.
Some of the UK’s foremost experts on finger mark identification and enhancement were in attendance as foster+freeman hosted a 3-day seminar on new advances in fingerprint technology.
foster+freeman have been recognised by Printwaste for achieving zero waste to landfill status at our UK headquarters throughout 2021.
Gloucestershire Constabulary’s forensics team is the first in the south west to own the ground-breaking foster+freeman Crime-lite AUTO, which will allow investigators to secure better evidence from crime scenes in the county.
This month foster+freeman have continued our busy events schedule, presenting at FORENSICS 2022 in Lisbon, and the IAI Iowa Conference.
The foster+freeman VSC 8000 Video Spectral Comparator is set to play a key role in the fight against wildlife crime having recently been installed in a unique new mobile laboratory nicknamed “The Woodshed”
foster+freeman have been granted a licence by the Human Tissue Authority (HTA) for the storage of biological materials, which have come from the human body, for research, education and training purposes.
The United States National Forensic Science Week (September 18-24, 2022) is a time to recognise the important contribution that forensic science makes to the criminal justice system.
When coloured light is used to illuminate a surface, the differences in absorption and reflection allow the contrast to be maximised between the fingermark and the background to improve the quality of the fingermark image.
Using Infrared light we can exploit the differences in absorption and reflection between substrate and evidence to reveal otherwise hidden information.
