White light source SceneScope

UVforensic

The SceneScope RUVIS UHD is a 16MP Ultra High Definition camera with 4960 x 3324 pixel resolution, and a full frame chip. It includes capture software with 3 user selectable modes: Fast Viewing for placement, Focus on the evidence, and High Detail for Capture at High Resolution and High Dynamic Range. SceneScope RUVIS UHD devices use 254nm UV light but unlike Forensic Light Sources they are not detecting fluorescence. Instead the device looks for the reflections and scatter of the 254nm light off of the fingerprint ridges. The System can detect fingerprints on most non-porous surfaces prior to any treatment or after a cyanoacrylate (Superglue) fuming. Fuming is required when preliminary examination yields no results. The two primary RUVIS applications are untreated prints on most non-porous surfaces, and cyanoacrylate (CA) fumed prints. Smooth, Non-Porous Surfaces The SceneScope RUVIS UHD Camera allows the detection of latent prints, prior to treatment. This is possible on surfaces that reflect light very well and do not absorb prints. That is to say, surfaces that are smooth and non-porous. Untreated prints with residual moisture show as white reflective ridges on a black background. Untreated oily prints appear as strong, black ridges on a shiny background. As surfaces become more rough or more porous, “superglueing” the print may extend the range of surfaces on which RUVIS will work.
