Cartridge casings have long been gathered at crime scenes however, it is rare to find fingerprints as any deposits are usually destroyed when the weapon is fired.
Some casings though, may have some corrosion left by fingerprint sweat which can be viewed under the correct light and magnification.
Through extensive research and development of the revolutionary CERA, Consolite Forensics has been able to produce a new optical system without the use of a complex powder and high voltage system, yet still capable of enhancing and capturing even the most difficult prints from a curved surface.
“The electrostatic process has always relied on the presence of particular corrosion products to successfully enhance fingerprint corrosion and has provided a compliment to optical methods. Now, the CERA LT optical system provides superior imaging of the surface of the cartridge, including any corrosion, so as to remove the need for the electrostatic process”. Dr John W Bond OBE
The new compact CERA LT achieves this purely through its advanced optical system and simple to use software called CFIS.
