FORENSICS

Forensic science is the scientific method of gathering and examining information about the past which is then used in a court of law. With HORIBA Scientific’s non-destructive and fast analysis methods, both on-site and in the lab, tests can be carried out to investigate and establish facts in criminal and civil courts of law.

FORENSIC LIGHT SOURCE
Model: MINI-CRIMESCOPE ADVANCE

Main application

The CSS laser wavelength is designed as a starting point and will cause fluorescence in nearly all types of evidence that can exhibit fluorescence; be it dye stains like, Ardrox, Basic Yellow and Rhodamine, or body fluids, trace evidence, bones or even fluorescent powders. The CrimeScope® LASER is the only forensic laser with a wavelength designed to search for evidence.
