Description

The Brightest Battery Powered FLS Available

The HandScope® Xenon is a new Forensic Light Source that combines the versatility of multiple wavelengths with the convenience of battery power. It features more intensity than other battery powered alternate light sources and a larger, more highly defined, focusable spot size. This allows unprecedented control of the output to maximize the detection of evidence.

MORE INTENSITY - LARGER SPOT SIZE

Advantages

  • The HandScope’s innovative dual wheel combination allows up to 13 wavelengths for superior background rejection. It also offers the versatility of both battery and AC power.
  • The HandScope® Xenon is the only battery powered instrument allowing one hand operation.  That is the ability to DIRECT AND SELECT the wavelength of light with one hand.
  • Utilizing thumbwheels, the instrument incorporates the filters in a protective housing that allows the user to hold the unit and switch wavelengths with one hand.
  • Other units require a second hand for the disassembly of the unit to change the wavelength.
  • ONE-HAND operation makes it the most CONVENIENT FLS. Only the HandScope® allows this ONE-HAND operation. One Hand Operation = Convenience and Quick Crime Scene Searches.  Ease of Use is not a luxury, it is a Necessity!
  • No other battery powered instrument is available with as many wavelengths. The more wavelengths a device has, the better chance to detect evidence and reject backgrounds.
  • Other LED based units do not contain UV, they use Violet which is close but, “not quite”. The HandScope® Xenon contains both violet and True UV, 300nm to 400nm.
  • The HandScope® Xenon has the most uniform, Coherent Spot on the market. Uniformity of Spot = Quality Photography.
  • The HandScope® Xenon features a Xenon lamp powered either by the power supply or the included rechargeable battery.

Compared to LED based units

The HandScope® Xenon outperforms competitive battery powered units, in the most important wavelength range, the BLUE. LED units do NOT feature UV (300 – 400nm), only violet which is sometimes labeled “UV”. LED units only include 4-5 wavelengths versus 7-13 with the Handscope® Xenon! LED units require that EACH surface you examine be searched with different heads or wands. This makes crime scene processing much longer than it is with the HandScope®.

Features

The HandScope® Xenon contains a main lamp housing unit with internal 12V cooling fan, handle on top and tripod mount on bottom,

  • Adjustable collimator for the front allowing to get a uniform round illumination from various distances. 
  • 2 - 7 position filter wheels, integrated in the lamp housing, with wavelength display for each position, and with wavelength combination capability.
  • Set of four goggles: (1) yellow, (1) orange and (1) red, (1) UV Clear.
  • Set of 4 longpass filters: Two 62mm diameter RED camera filters and two 62mm diameter ORANGE camera filters.
  • 110V or 220V AC Power Supply,
  • Battery Charger.
  • Rechargeable 12V battery (45 minutes use per charge)
  • Rugged metal (Aluminum finish) Carrying case with custom cut foam.
  • Manual 14 Position capability:
    • 13 Primary Wavelengths for searching and photography: UV-415-450-475-495-515-535-555-575-SP575-600-CSS-WHITE
