DCS APPLICATIONS // Enhancing Fingermark Visualisation: The Power of Shortwave Reflected UV Imaging (RUVIS) Table of Contents: Background Introduction Shortwave Reflected Ultraviolet Imaging (RUVIS) is a cutting-edge technique used for the detection of latent and cyanoacrylate-fumed fingermarks on a wide range of surfaces, including those that are patterned or multi-coloured. By utilising shortwave UV light at 280nm, RUVIS provides immediate, high-contrast images by visualising differences in how light is reflected or absorbed by a surface rather than inducing fluorescence. The Science Behind RUVIS While UV light is traditionally used to induce fluorescence, RUVIS works differently. It photographs how shortwave UV

foster+freeman Congratulates Al Faiha on the Launch of New Regional Forensic Centre of Excellence foster+freeman is proud to celebrate the official opening of a new, state-of-the-art Forensic Centre of Excellence in Amman, established and owned by our valued partner and distributor, Al Faiha Laboratory & Scientific Supplies. The facility was formally inaugurated by Philip Hall OBE, His Majesty’s Ambassador to Jordan, marking a significant milestone in Al Faiha’s 37-year history of advancing scientific capabilities within the Kingdom. The ceremony was attended by senior delegations and laboratory directors from across the Arab region, including representatives from Lebanon, Libya, Syria, Iraq, and

Blood is often a critical form of forensic evidence. Its analysis can aid in reconstructing events at a crime scene, identifying individuals, and potentially linking suspects to criminal activity. On light-coloured surfaces, blood is typically easy to detect due to the strong contrast it creates against the background. However, detecting blood on darker substrates presents a greater challenge, as both the blood and the surface absorb significant amounts of visible white light—resulting in minimal contrast when using standard white illumination.
