CrimeScope CS-16-500

Forensic Light Source

The CS-16-500 was designed for those departments that prefer Xenon 500W lamps to Metal Halide Lamps because of the extra Infrared output for forged documents. Small enough to be taken to the crime scene but versatile enough to fit comfortably in the lab, the CS-16-500 covers the UV - VIS and is available with optional IR. The life time of the lamp is the same as for the Metal Halide 400W lamps i.e. 1500 hours.

Note: Spare 500W Xenon lamps cost 2-3 times more than 400 Metal Halide while the Blue-Green intensity output used in most forensic applications is the same.

Features

Designed for the lab to cover every application of a forensic light source but versatile and rugged enough to be taken to the crime scene, the CS-16-500W provides output in the UV and VIS and is available with optional IR. It is continuously tunable allowing for complete coverage of the spectrum.

Ease of Use

The CS-16-500W-15F contains an automated filter wheel with an LED readout on the front of the unit. There is a remote control integrated into the working end of the liquid light guide to control wavelength selection. Since the remote is integrated, there is no separate wire, connection, or control to install. An optional foot switch is available for "hands free" operation.

Operate easily with One Hand

With one hand, you can both direct the light and select the wavelength, freeing your other hand for evidence collection. This design - putting the wavelength selecter at the end of the light guide - is a hallmark of SPEX Forensics’s Light Sources.

Infrared Capability

An available option is Infrared output, ideal for forged documents, ink-ink differentiation. Added to the unit is a lightguide with 4 filters that can be plugged into the port on side of instrument. This capability adds 4 infrared wavelengths; LP630, LP715, LP780, LP830.
