From versatile illumination techniques to no-compromise photographic capture and advanced digital enhancement, DCS 6 outperforms expectations at every stage of imaging process.

DCS 6 VISUALISE

MASTERY OF LIGHT
To capture high-quality identifiable fingerprints, ridge detail must first be visualised using a combination of imaging and illumination techniques engineered to meet the endless variable and challenges presented by fingerprint photography.
DCS 6 offers examiners a comprehensive selection of illumination sources and visualisation accessories including:

A multi-waveband ringlight, including 32 high intensity LEDs, 12 slot-in fluorescence viewing filters and an ambient light shielding lens bellows: this powerful tool provides illumination from UV across the visible spectrum, with 98 colour combinations to excite fluorescence and suppress backgrounds.

This enhanced ring light utilises our advanced Crime-lite illumination technology to provide powerful and accurate illumination for cutting-edge IR techniques, optimised for fpNatural powders with powerful Blue, Red, and IR LEDs.

Trusted at the crime scene for their powerful illumination and robust dependability, these handheld forensic light source utilise 16 UV LEDs to provide more intense UV at 280 and 365 nm; ideal for generating intense, directional UV radiation for fluorescence and R-UV applications.

Our FLS unit is based around a 100W halogen lamp with a 400-1000nm continuous bandpass filter, with fibreoptic light guides providing a range of advanced directional illumination options, offering the examiner the versatility to achieve results in the most challenging scenarios.

A 150W halogen lamp with variable dimmer control, to be combined with fibreoptic light guides to provide the versatility needed to image the most challenging prints.

Fibreoptic light guides include: Coaxial Light Box, Goosenecks, Ring Light, Darkfield Ring Light, Transmitted/Paddle, and a Line Light – creating a flat sheet of light ideal for imaging shoeprints and lifts. These handheld guides allow the examiner to intuitively ‘paint with light’, while expert clamps allow for control and consistency when needed.

DCS 6 CAPTURE

EXCEPTIONAL IMAGING
Above all else, every DCS system is a professional photography workstation of the highest quality. As such, DCS 6 has been configured around the custom modified flagship NIKON Z9 full-frame mirrorless camera.
“As close to perfect as you can imagine”, the NIKON Z9 is the first mirrorless camera to be incorporated into a DCS workstation and offers a powerful feature set ideally suited to the photographic capture of fingerprints:

47.5MP Imaging
Captures exceptionally fine fingerprint ridge details and minute characteristics.

UV-IR Full-Spectral Conversion
Expands the Z9 spectral range to enable full-spectrum imaging from UV-A to Near-IR.

Advanced AutoFocus
Precise and rapid autofocus ensures sharp focus on the fingerprint evidence, even at close macro distances.

Optimised for Fingerprint Photography
Captures enhanced detail across a wider dynamic range and delivers exceptionally low-noise images, ideal for critical low-light fluorescence applications.

Complete with a filter step ring and circular polarizing and visible pass filters, this versatile, reliable lens is ideal for fingermark imaging in the visible and IR spectrum.

Four IR imaging filters at 715, 780, 850, and 900 nm.

This quartz/fluorite lens is essential for Reflected UV Imaging but also provides excellent results in the visible and IR.

With a revolving capability of + or – 90 degrees, this high-performance lens enables selective focussing of images across different focal planes in the visible and IR wavelengths, ideal for capturing marks on curved or uneven surfaces.

DCS 6 ENHANCE

MAXIMISE EVERY DETAIL
A significant update, the DCS 6 user interface elevates the digital enhancement process, providing a clean intuitive workspace with logically organised panels providing immediate access to essential tools. For complete confidence in evidence, SHA-256 Image Tamper Detection (ITD) tracks and records every image interaction to provide irrefutable proof of authenticity and the integrity of the forensic process.

Powerful yet uncomplicated image enhancement has been central to the success of the DCS series. DCS 6 elevates this, significantly boosting enhancement potential while further streamlining workflows with improved Undo/Redo functionality, One-Click Original-Compare, and robust measurement, annotation, and output options.

A wide range of basic enhancement techniques are included, such as:
Greyscale, Invert, AOI – Rectangle, Ellipse, Irregular, Wand, Rotate/Crop, Brightness, Contrast, Gamma, Histogram, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Filters (LoPass, HiPass, Flatten, Median, Local Equalisation, Sharpen etc.), Image Mathematics (Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide And, Or, Xor etc.)

Application-specific enhancement toolboxes ensure the value of every fingerprint is maximised, while enhancing efficiency and throughput.
Enhancement toolboxes include:
3D/SSP, Black Gel, Colourise, Dust, Fluoresce, Grease, GV/PD, Irregular Background Removal, Lifts, Metal Deposition, Ninhydrin, Powders, Superglue.

For complete confidence in fingerprint evidence
Providing unwavering trust in the forensic process, the DCS 6 Image Tamper Detection system features SHA-256 hashing and comprehensive audit logging, to provide irrefutable proof of image integrity from capture to court.

Logging every enhancement step from capture to save/output
Every action performed on an image within the DCS 6 or DCS RUVIS system, from the initial capture settings to each enhancement applied and the final output format, is automatically recorded with a timestamp and user identification. The detailed log allows examiners to precisely understand and replicate the entire image processing workflow, ensuring the process is transparent and the results can be independently verified.

Standalone Imaging Suite: access DCS Software Tools from any PC.
For the first time, the powerful DCS imaging suite, with its full post-capture enhancement capabilities and ITD Audit Trail, can be remotely installed and operated on a separate PC, independent of the DCS 6 workstation.
This enables laboratories to seamlessly separate capture and enhancement processes, perfectly matching their desired workflow and operational requirements.

Utilise an Array of Time-Proven Imaging Techniques to Unlock the Potential of Every Print

DCS 6 builds on tried-and-trusted imaging techniques, empowering examiners to reveal hidden prints, isolate details, and capture courtroom-ready evidence.

DCS 6 RUVIS: Reflected Ultra-Violet Imaging System

A powerful and effective technique, capable of eliminating background interference.
While RUVIS has long been a recognised fingerprint visualisation technique, recent advancements in component technology now enable examiners, for the first time, to achieve DCS-quality fingermarks using this powerful method.

RUVIS: Mitigating Risks for Unprecedented Detail
Shortwave UV poses health and DNA degradation risks, necessitating careful workflow planning and full PPE provision with DCS 6. However, this trade-off is balanced by RUVIS’s powerful capability to non-destructively reveal exceptional detail from latent or minimally treated fingerprints, especially challenging backgrounds, enabling enhanced forensic analysis.

Infrared Reflectance and Fluorescence Imaging

Utilising the Crime-lite 8×4 Mk4 or the halogen light source, infrared imaging provides examiners with another powerful ‘beyond visible’ technique to reveal high-quality fingerprints while effectively suppressing background interference.
Under IR imaging conditions, background surfaces often appear white as they reflect IR radiation. Conversely, certain chemical treatments such as Physical Developer and specific powders absorb IR, causing them to appear black. Furthermore, foster+freeman’s specialist fpNatural 2 fingerprint dusting powder uniquely fluoresces brightly in the infrared when illuminated with red light, completely eliminating interference from many backgrounds.

Cylindrical Surface Unwrapping

Designed to capture high-quality images of fingerprints from the cylindrical surfaces of bullet casings, pens, and hand tools etc., the CSU uniformly rotates items of evidence while the DCS 6 captures, stitches and blends a series of images together to create a single 2D image of the fingermark.

With illumination being provided by the Polarised Light Tunnel (PLT), items of evidence that had previously presented a significant challenge to forensic photographers can now be quickly and easily ‘unwrapped’ for examination and enhancement.

Original
Reflected UV

Reflected longwave UV Imaging

Many surfaces such as glass and plastics absorb UV and appear black, which improves the visibility of both treated and untreated latent prints which often reflect UV. Images can then be significantly enhanced using the DCS 6 software.

Visible Fluorescence

Fluorescence Imaging

Many latent fingerprint treatments such as Ardrox, DFO, BY40 and fluorescent powders fluoresce under specific wavelengths of light.
Using the DCS 6 multi-wavelength ring light an operator is able to select the optimum wavelength to generate the maximum intensity of fluorescence for each type of treatment.

Image:

Original
Infrared Fluorescence

Infrared Imaging

Interfering backgrounds may be suppressed appearing white as they reflect IR whereas some chemical treatments such as Physical Developer and certain powders absorb IR and appear black. foster+freeman’s fingerprint dusting powder, fpNatural 1, fluoresces brightly in the infrared when illuminated with red light, eliminating interference from most backgrounds which rarely fluoresce at this wavelength.

Crime-lite^® AUTO

POLARISING LENS KIT

Clip-on accessories reduce glare and reflection from the skin’s surface for improved visibility of injuries, bruising, and other areas of interest to a forensic nurse or sexual assault examiner.

A simple and effective accessory for the Crime-lite AUTO, these clip-on LED filters and adjustable polariser lens have been designed to improve results when conducting examinations of human skin.

Eliminate reflection and glare to capture high-quality images of injuries and bruising.

Examination of the body following assault traditionally relies heavily on visual examination. However, many injuries, such as bruises or bite marks, can be faint or hidden, with crucial details going undetected when examined under standard lighting.

When blunt force trauma occurs, blood vessels in the mid-layer of the the skin rupture, with blood leaking into the surrounding tissues. Following the initial injury, haemoglobin in this blood breaks down, causing the bruise to change colour. Over the course of roughly two weeks a bruise will go from red to purple/black/blue, then green/yellow, and finally yellowish brown.

Bruises of different colours will fluoresce more brightly under different illumination wavelengths, revealing differing levels of detail. This makes multispectral forensic light sources ideal for improving their visibility, while putting the victim first by ensuring examinations remain contactless and non-invasive.

The Crime-lite AUTO Polarising Kit eliminates surface reflection and glare from the surface of the skin, further enhancing our ability to visualise bruising, particularly on older bruises which may otherwise be difficult to observe.

The Crime-lite AUTO Polarising Kit Includes:

2x LED Beam Filters

Clip-on Polarising Lens

Drawstring Pouch

Simple and Effective:
3 steps to improved visualisation of bruising

The Crime-lite AUTO Polariser Kit is designed for ease of use, to facilitate efficient examinations and reduce potential stress for the victim.

Install LED Beam Filters
Clip on Polarising Lens
Adjust Polarising Lens

Intuitive Software for Streamlined Examinations

Our purpose-built Crime-lite AUTO software is designed to ensure maximum efficiency. Simply update your Crime-lite AUTO software to the latest version and you are ready to take full advantage of the Polarising Kit, using built-in pre-sets.

The latest software is available at ff-customer.com, simply register your device to access.
