Forensic Alternative Light Source Kit
Catalog No. FAL3000
INTRODUCTION
Physical evidence is a crucial part of any criminal investigation and the FAL300 Forensic Alternative Light Source
simplifies locating items of forensic interest. This compact, self-contained light source offers unlimited freedom to
move about the crime scene. The instrument may be hand-held in two different positions or mounted on a standard
photographic-type tripod. Battery operation permits searching a multitude of surfaces,
even when working in the tightest situations, and especially when searching for
microparticle, physiological or latent print evidence.
The FAL300's high-intensity discharge Xenon lamp in conjunction with a series of
six bandpass filters (365-530nm), provides all of the lights needed to identify
many forms of physical evidence: semen, saliva, other materials
with natural fluorescence, and fluorescent powders and dyes.
High intensity white light is available for thoroughly scan-
ning the crime scene. The filters are contained in two sliding
filter arrays for quick selection of individual wavelengths and
changeover from one array to the other. Detents are machined
