Crime-lite® 2
A range of lightweight LED forensic light sources effective at short range providing intense, even and shadow free illumination for locating and examining evidence.
The range includes a white light model for general search and eight narrow band light sources with wavelengths in UV, violet, blue, blue-green, green, orange, and red for detecting fluorescent stains.
With thousands of units in active use by crime scene and forensic investigators worldwide the Crime-lite 2 has proven effectiveness and reliability. Crime-lite 2 light sources are available individually or in sets with viewing goggles or spectacles.
Applications
The Crime-lite 2 is a available in a wide range of wavelengths, making it an ideal tool for numerous forensic applications at the crime scene, including the detection and analysis of:
body fluids bruising and bite marks fibres hair bone and tooth accelerants
The Crime-lite 2 is also an ideal tool for the detection of treated fingerprints, including:
Ardox Ninhydrin Basic Yellow Redwop Greenwop DFO Rhodamine 6G
Blood Spatter
As blood absorbs all light in the bandwidth of 300-500nm, stains and spatter marks will appear black against light coloured backgrounds or on surfaces that fluoresce under UV, Violet or Blue light.
Drug Residues
Traces of some illicit drugs (including Cocaine, Amphetamines, Ecstasy tablets and LSD) can be seen to fluoresce under UV illumination. Emitted fluorescence from drugs under examination depends upon the purity of the drug and the additional ingredients it has been cut with.
Shoeprints
The intense white light of the versatile Crime-lite 2 can be applied at an oblique angle to greatly improve the contrast of shoeprints.
For more thorough and streamlined shoeprint search and analysis we recommend the Crime-lite 82L.
Accessories
Crime-lite anti-glare viewing goggles and camera filters are essential for the examination and photography of fluorescent evidence.
Each anti-glare filter is manufactured from Schott glass with an additional coating to suppress auto-fluorescent emissions from the Schott glass itself, thus ensuring maximum optical performance when using high power light sources.
As standard foster+freeman camera lens filters are supplied with 62mm fittings, other sizes are available on request.
