This lens claims unmatched high-resolution macro images for fingerprinting and human skin damage applications in particular
Resolve Optics has launched a new high performance 60mm focal length forensic UV lens for use with reflected UV imaging systems (Ruvis), that incorporates a range of useful features to assist police forensics and crime scene investigations.
The lens is said to uniquely provide high performance in both the UV and visible wavebands, which enables investigators to identify and focus on a target in the visible and then quickly slide the UV filter across to take images in the UV, without having to refocus.
By using a novel telescopic focusing mount, the lens gives a large movement in an extremely compact form.
This provides the lens with the capability to image objects from infinity to 1:1.25 magnification without using add-on adapters.
Offering a wide field of view (8.3deg at 1:1.25 magnification up to 16.6deg at long object distances) the lens claims unmatched high-resolution macro images for fingerprinting and human skin damage applications in particular.
Because of its wide field of view and the high transmission qualities of the lens coatings used, the Forensic UV Lens is said top be considerably more light-efficient than other longer focal length lenses offering an identical view.
The Forensic UV Lens offers a true high-resolution crime site macro viewing capability by imaging onto a Ruvis scope with a 1:1 lens magnification while exactly matching the optical resolution of both lens and image intensifier.
