Abstract

An inspection/detection system is for use in forensic applications. The inspection/detection system includes a carrying case which has a cover-lid, a light module and a power supply module. The carrying case is a rectangular box with a closed end and an open end to which the cover-lid is hingedly coupled. The light module is mounted within the carrying case and has an output aperture. The light module may be an argon laser head. The power supply module is disposed within the carrying case and energizes the light module to generate light energy therefrom. The inspection/detection system also includes an optical connector and a shutter assembly. The optical connector is optically coupled to the output aperture. The shutter assembly is optically coupled to the optical connector. The inspection/detection system further includes a flexible optical fiber, a remote control handpiece and a heat exchanger. The flexible optical fiber cable is optically coupled to the optical connector. The remote control handpiece has a focusing lens and is optically coupled to the flexible optical fiber cable so that the light energy from the light module can be shined onto latent materials. The heat exchanger cools the light module and is disposed within the carrying case. The light energy from the light module causes the latent material to luminesce and becomes detectable.
