Abstract
An inspection/detection system for use in forensic applications includes a carrying case, a high intensity lamp assembly and a plurality of notch filters. The carrying case has a cover-lid and is a rectangular box with a closed end and an open end to which the cover-lid is hingedly coupled. The high intensity lamp assembly generates light energy of multiple wavelengths within the visible spectrum and infrared spectrum. The high intensity lamp assembly has an output aperture and is mounted within the carrying case. A power supply unit is mounted within the carrying case and energizes the high intensity lamp assembly in order to generate light energy therefrom. An optical connector is optically coupled to the output aperture of the high intensity lamp assembly. A flexible optical fiber cable is optically coupled to the optical connector. Each notch filter is composed of a low band filter and a high band filter in order to provide a plurality of selectable high resolution outputs of light energy in order to filter out all of the light energy which is not inside a narrow wavelength band; The mounting mechanism selects and optically couples one of the notch filters to the optical connector in order to provide an output of light energy of high resolution; The remote control handpiece has beam control optics and is optically coupled to the flexible optical fiber cable so that the output of light energy of high resolution can be shined onto a material thereby causing the material to luminesce and become detectable.
