A new innovative tool for blood stain and
spatter search and analysis
Norbert Jaufmann ‐ Aestor Forensics
Abstract
Some of the established chemicals for
detection and visualisation of blood emit
rather weak chemo-luminescence or
fluorescence.
In order to see or analyse the blood
stains or blood spatter, the crime scene
has to be almost fully darkened. Sometimes
this is difficult, sometimes impossible.
In cooperation with the Institute of Legal
Medicine at Ludwig-Maximilian-
University Munich, Germany, Attestor
Forensics designed SCENEview BV800,
a novel approach to enhance the visibility
of fine blood stains or spray, using a
high grade residual light amplifier.
Trimmed exactly to the wavelength of
the application, the light emission can
be enhanced up to a factor of x70,000.
With SCENEview BV800 the luminescence
can be seen long time before the
human eye would be able to detect
anything, resulting in the capability to
work in not entirely darkened crime
scenes and reducing the amount of
chemical used substantially.
