APPLICATION NOTE

ChemImage’s CONDOR™ Hyperspectral Imaging System utilizes liquid crystal-based technology to enhance contrast and improve the visualization of latent fingerprints in comparison to conventional methods. This technology makes possible improved latent fingerprint detection, especially on complex, patterned or otherwise interfering backgrounds.

The CONDOR™ Hyperspectral Imaging System Provides:

  • Superior detection and contrast enhancement capabilities
  • A spectrum associated with each pixel in the image
  • Rapid data acquisition
  • Nondestructive analysis
  • Powerful image analysis software package
  • Optimized image contrast against complex backgrounds
  • Accurate, reliable, courtroom-friendly results

Images captured through traditional photography are collected at one specific color, with a single barrier filter. With hyperspectral imaging, the use of a liquid crystal-based technology replaces barrier filters with a software-controlled tunable filter. By combining standard digital imaging techniques with common spectroscopic methods, our technology provides increased sensitivity and enhanced fingerprint-to-substrate contrast.



 
THE CONDOR™ HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING SYSTEM

For hyperspectral imaging of questioned documents, latent fingerprints, bloodstains and TLC plates


Designed for busy forensic laboratories with the need to image multiple types of forensic evidence, the CONDOR offers material scientists and forensic examiners fast and accurate hyperspectral imaging for a wide range of forensic applications.
