Hyperspectral Imaging for Questioned Documents, Latent FingerPrints & Bloodstain Evidence


Hyperspectral imaging is a validated and accepted technique that is becoming a commonly utilized forensic technology. This liquid crystal-based imaging technique combines standard digital imaging with common spectroscopic methods, such as Near-IR, Visible and Fluorescence imaging, to provide increased sensitivity and discrimination capabilities over traditional imaging and detection methods.  Our forensic instrumentation represents the next generation of forensic imaging technology; one that enhances capabilities in questioned document examination, latent fingerprint imaging, and bloodstain visualization.


Our Forensic Hyperspectral Imaging Systems Offer:

  • Combined digital imaging and spectroscopic techniques

ChemImage’s hyperspectral imaging systems  provide superior discrimination and visualization capabilities. This technique is accurate and validated, providing courtroom ready results that are easy for the jury to interpret. Hyperspectral imaging will not compromise the integrity of your samples, allowing for the possibility of further sample testing, if necessary.

As you will see in the examples within this section, the information contained in hyperspectral images is easier to interpret for non-scientists. Presentation of data and information to jurors in the courtroom is easy and straightforward. Our goal is to help you find the facts through reliable analytical techniques that help you make the case.
