TECHNOLOGY FOR FORENSIC LIGHT SOURCE EXAMINATION | |||
Counter Surveillance
Specialist lighting techniques using high intensity LED light sources can be used to detect evidence of tampering that is difficult to see or perhaps invisible to the naked eye.
Oblique illumination By lighting surfaces at an oblique angle 3D objects and variations in texture become exaggerated as shadows form behind raised areas. This effect is intensified as the lighting angle reduces.
Contrast examination Objects of different colours reflect or absorb different wavelengths of light. By narrowing the waveband of light conrast between two different materials or surfaces can be increased.
Fluorescent Examination Different material types absorb different wavelengths of light and emit fluorescence. Goggles and filters can be used to block all light except the fluorescent emission. This technique can be used to see through layers of paint revealing fluorescence below the surface |
