Use & Benefits

The Mini-CrimeScope® Advance builds on the knowledge and expertise of more than 20 years of Forensic Light Source design. It incorporates the same ease of use and unmatched reliability of its predecessor, along with the latest in arc lamp technology. The result – a unit that is unsurpassed in performance.

Extreme Reliability – Unmatched ease of use.

Power

The Mini-CrimeScope Advance is the brightest bulb-based forensic light source on the market. Utilizing new bulb technology and new high throughput, high durability interference filters, the Mini-CrimeScope Advance produces more light than the current Mini CrimeScope 400. Intensity and power allow for better sensitivity, helping to find even the faintest of evidence.

The Mini-CrimeScope Advance is brighter than any handheld light source on the market. It is brighter than any portable forensic laser.

Portability

The Mini-CrimeScope Advance (MCS-ADV) is the lightest weight forensic light source in its class. It’s also the brightest choice for all your crime scenes.  Now you will finally be able to bring laboratory intensity into the field. The MCS-ADV is transported in a rigid, padded case that travels easily.  The new case is also convertible into a backpack.  The Mini-CrimeScope Advance is designed to travel!

Ease of Use

The MCS-ADV features a patented filter wheel at the working end of the liquid light guide. The user only needs to “flick a thumb” to switch a filter on the hand that is directing the light guide. This allows for True One-Handed Operation. The user can select wavelength and direct light output with the same hand, freeing the other to examine and collect evidence.
No other manufacturer can make this claim.

Performance

Two features are critical when using any alternate light source; light intensity and wavelength selection. The Mini-CrimeScope Advance provides very high light intensity in a round, uniform spot that is easily controlled. This allows the user to maximize how much light falls onto the evidence. The greater the light on the evidence, the brighter the fluorescence and evidence detection.

The Mini-CrimeScope provides multiple wavelengths and the easiest way on the market to switch among these. Multiple wavelengths are critical in rejecting background/fluorescence. The evidence you are looking for generally fluoresces while being excited at most wavelengths of the spectrum. When you have a background that also fluoresces, the multiple wavelengths allow the user to select the ideal wavelength to provide for rejection of the background, maximizing contrast.

Upgradeability

Any unit must be useful today as well as tomorrow to continue to be a top of the line forensic light source.  The Mini-CrimeScope Advance was designed to be upgradeable.  Additional filter wheels can be added, in the field, at any time.
