Applications
Providing unrivaled LED illumination, Crime-lite XL light sources have numerous forensic applications.
![blood1 blood1](jpg/blood1.jpg)
![blood2 blood2](jpg/blood2.jpg)
Blood on black fabric
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.
![semen1 semen1](jpg/semen1.jpg)
![semen2 semen2](jpg/semen2.jpg)
Semen on underwear
Body fluids including semen, sweat, saliva and urine are of high value to forensic investigators as a vital source of DNA, and can all be seen to fluoresce brightly under UV, Violet and Blue illumination.
![tooth1 tooth1](jpg/tooth1.jpg)
![tooth2 tooth2](jpg/tooth2.jpg)
Bone & Tooth on soil
Even the smallest fragments of bone and tooth left at a crime scene will fluoresce under Blue, Blue/Green and/or Green illumination.
![hair1 hair1](jpg/hair1.jpg)
![hair2 hair2](jpg/hair2.jpg)
Hair on bloody fabric
Some human and animal hair will fluoresce brightly under Viole and/or Blue illumination.
![fibreA fibreA](jpg/fibrea.jpg)
![fibreB fibreB](jpg/fibreb.jpg)
Fibres on Carpet
Fibres can often provide a vital link between a suspect and crime scene or item of evidence with many high profile prosecutions having rested upon the discovery of a single fibre. Blue, Blue-Green, Green and Orange light sources can all be used in the detection of fibres.
![gsr](jpg/gsr-2.jpg)
The presence of GSR on a surface or clothing can be used to link a firearm to a suspect or crime scene while the analysis of its pattern of dispersal can help investigators identify where a shot was fired and in which direction. GSR and other explosive residues will fluoresce within the Blue – Blue/Green wavebands and also in the near infrared 700-1100nm.
![accellerants](jpg/accellerants.jpg)
Traces of accelerant found at arson scenes may give an indication whether a fire was accidental of started with intent. Flammable liquids including Petrol, Diesel and Methyated Spirits can all be seen to fluoresce under Blue, Blue/Green and Green illumination.

Accessories
Crime-lite anti-glare viewing goggles and camera filters are essential for the examination and photography of fluorescent evidence and are supplied as standard with all Crime-lite XL cased sets.
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.
