Hyperspectral Contrast Imager

Hyperspectral Contrast Imager

To help extract the maximum data from individual pieces of evidence, ChemImage, Inc. developed an advanced hyperspectral contrast imager to analyze evidence within a wider range of the light spectrum, from infrared through ultraviolet, than previously possible. In addition to providing better resolution, the imager can operate in a narrower band of wavelengths, which produces more evidentiary data. In addition to traditional paper document analysis, the imager can examine cloth, fibers, hairs, stains, biological evidence, and fingerprints. The system is compatible with the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) and is commercially available from ChemImage at http://www.chemimage.com/ContactUs/.
