Crime Scene Light Source

A crime scene light source is an essential tool used by forensic investigators to illuminate and examine evidence at a crime scene. These specialized lights emit different wavelengths of light to reveal bodily fluids, fingerprints, DNA, and other trace evidence that may not be visible to the naked eye. The most commonly used crime scene light sources include ultraviolet (UV) lights, infrared lights, and alternate light sources (ALS). UV lights are effective in detecting bodily fluids and certain types of fibers, while infrared lights can uncover hidden details that are not visible in normal lighting conditions. ALS can provide different light colors to enhance specific types of evidence, making it a versatile tool for crime scene investigation.
