 RUVIS Systems Reflected Ultraviolet
Imaging System
HOW IT WORKS
Shortwave UV light (254nm UVC) is emitted on to the surface to be examined
for latent prints. UV light is either reflected or absorbed by the surface, and
in the case of fingerprint residues containing oils and/or amino acids, the
UV light is reflected and scattered. This UV light is focused through the lens
and UV filter, and then enhanced by the image intensifier, converting it into
visible light, and revealing the latent print. Since most materials absorb
shortwave UV light, the background appears black and only the print is visible,
eliminating background patterns and colors.
Multi-color magazine cover—no visible prints.

Using shortwave UV light and the KRIMESITE™

IMAGER, the background is eliminated and the FAST FILTER SELECTION
print is revealed.
Using an integral filter holder with two positive click-stop positions allows
for fast filter selection. Each dual filter slide assembly carries a UV filter and a
filter for visible viewing.
USING THE VISIBLE FILTER
Photograph a multicolored surface using a digital camera connected to the
KRIMESITE™ IMAGER with the filter in the Visible position. In the Visible
Mode, the fingerprint remains hidden but the surface is revealed.
USING THE UV FILTER
Photograph the same multicolored surface using a digital camera connected
to the KRIMESITE™ IMAGER with the filter in the UV position. In the UV
Mode, the latent fingerprint is revealed while cancelling out all background
colors.

Visible Filter UV Filter

Metal filing cabinet photographed in natural

light—no visible fingerprints.

ENHANCEMENT OF CYANOACRYLATE FUMED PRINTS

The KRIMESITE™ IMAGER is capable of enhancing and obtaining exceptional
reproduction of fingerprints fumed with cyanoacrylate (superglue) without the
use of dye-staining, lasers or alternate light sources. This applies to fumed
latent fingerprints on multicolored backgrounds as well.

Photographic tripods are necessary when recording evidence at the scene,
but when close-up photography is required, tripods are cumbersome and
inefficient. The BTS100 eliminates this hassle by providing sturdy support
when working with vertical or horizontal surfaces/evidence. Also, when
longer shots requiring a standard photo tripod are needed, the entire
assembly may be quickly mounted to a tripod. The only disassembly
required is to unscrew the stud at the bottom of the pistol grip and attach
the tripod mount. Assemble the Imager and the Talon when you arrive at the
scene and disassemble when you’re ready to leave.

 RUVIS Systems LABKAM® Laboratory
RUVIS Capture System
LABKAM®
Utilize the power of RUVIS (Reflected Ultraviolet Imaging System) technology
in the laboratory with ease. The LABKAM integrates the same technology
of the Krimesite Imager into a digital video system that allows the user to
search evidence and capture latent print images of superior quality. The
integrated video system features a digital video feed in a true grayscale, and
allows images to be captured in a variety of formats, including uncompressed
files RAW, TIFF, and JPG. The capture software also includes a note field for
each image that can be saved as a text file, enabling case notes to be added
for each save. The software is user friendly, allowing the operator to begin
looking for latent prints minutes after set-up. In addition, the software is
completely portable, so it can be loaded on other PCs and allows anyone to
be a viewer of the captured images.
LABKAM features two 3 Watt narrow band UV bulbs mounted on flexible
arms, so the user can get all of the correct orientations without having to
hold anything. The unit features a tightly controllable but easy to use column
mechanism that can be changed in seconds with one hand, and allows for
easily switching from flat objects to 3D objects. Overall, the LABKAM delivers
the power of RUVIS in a perfect user friendly laboratory package, creating
another tool for collecting the most evidence possible.

UV PROTECTIVE FACE SHIELD

Specially designed to protect the entire
face from hazardous shortwave UV light
while completely eliminating “blue haze”
interference normally associated with long
wavelengths. Dimensions: 8.25"H x 17" dia.
(20.9cm x 43.2cm).

UV PROTECTIVE FACE SHIELD

WITH SHROUD
This specially designed shield offers 100%
head and neck UV protection. The face shield
places an impenetrable barrier between the
wearer and the UV source. The dense cotton
weave shroud completes the barrier and is
quickly removed or attached with Velcro®.
The face shield is fashioned from tough,
impact-resistant polycarbonate material and
features a sturdy, adjustable head mount with
flip-up feature. The 798GVH was specifically
designed for use with high-intensity
shortwave UV sources such as the SKSUV30
lamp.
