EXPERT FINGERPRINT WORKSTATION

Fingerprint Imaging Beyond Expectations

DCS®6 with RUVIS

VISUALISE | CAPTURE | ENHANCE

Ten years since DCS took fingerprint imaging beyond the visible spectrum, the benchmark for fingerprint photography has been raised beyond expectations with the new DCS 6 workstation complete with RUVIS latent print capability.

Reveal and Recover Maximum Ridge Detail from Every Fingerprint on Any Surface

Built around the modified Nikon Z9 mirrorless camera, DCS 6 includes powerful new print enhancement features and a comprehensive photographic toolset for the visualisation, capture, and enhancement of latent and treated fingerprints as evidence.

Deploy Powerful Multispectral Illumination and Cutting-Edge Optics for Unrivalled Results

Precise wavebands of illumination from Ultraviolet, Visible, and Infrared combine with application-specific macro lenses and a high-definition sensor to improve the visualisation of every fingerprint, whether it be latent, contaminated, or chemically treated.

Why Choose DCS 6?

Breaking New Ground in Fingerprint Imaging

DCS has long been the imaging system of choice for fingerprint experts worldwide. Today, DCS 6 represents a major upgrade to existing systems in the field, breaking new ground in fingerprint photography and enhancement to maximise the evidential value of every fingerprint while ensuring image integrity through a robust audit trail.

DCS 6: What's New?

DCS RUVIS

DCS 6 sees the addition of Shortwave RUVIS (Reflected-UV Imaging System) capability. This incredible fingerprint contrast enhancement technique is time-efficient and non-destructive, while providing game-changing results.

Nikon Z9

DCS systems have always evolved with camera technology. Based around Nikon's latest flagship mirrorless camera, the DCS 6 follows in this tradition to offer user-focussed and results-driven benefits, including significant increases to resolution and dynamic range, and instant Live View switching.

DCS Software

DCS 6 offers users a new software platform, built from the ground up. Guided by 25 years of user feedback, this single, streamlined platform combines the best of previous DCS software modules with a superior interface to improve user workflows, accelerate processing, and ensure image integrity through a robust audit trail and SHA-256 Image Tamper Detection.

DCS 6: Whats' Improved?

Full-Spectrum Illumination

Updated light sources combine with light guides to provide powerful and precise illumination across the spectrum, with the addition of Shortwave UV.

Trusted Image Integrity

An improved image validation and audit trail with robust SHA-256 Secure Image Tamper Detection (ITD) provides images you can trust beyond doubt.

Integrated Workstation

A bespoke, fully-integrated workstation provides a step-change in user experience, keeping the tools and accessories you require at your fingertips.

Enhancement Toolset

An extended Image Enhancement Toolset includes re-worked and simplified toolboxes, improved filters, a complex greyscale tool, and more.

Achieve Superior Contrast and Remove Backgrounds Like Never Before with DCS RUVIS

Latent print examiners can now, for the first time ever, combine DCS-level imaging with the incredible fingerprint contrast enhancement technique that is RUVIS (Reflected-UV Imaging). Providing game-changing results, RUVIS offers a highly effective and time-efficient method for visualising and capturing latent and simply treated fingerprints (superglue etc.)

BEYON EXPECTATIONS

DCS6 RUVIS

REFLECTED-UV IMAGING SYSTEM

An incredible fingerprint contrast enhancement technique, RUVIS is a non-destructive, highly effective, and time-efficient method which produces game-changing results when visualising and capturing latent fingerprints. RUVIS is available as a DCS 6 module or as a standalone imaging system, allowing examiners to combine this technique with unrivalled DCS-imaging for the first time, to achieve results beyond expectations. DCS 6 RUVIS combines a powerful shortwave UV light source, dedicated camera system with UV-transmitting lens, and fully-integrated software, unlocking the true capability of this potent imaging technique.

DCS6 RUVIS

POWERFUL + PRECISE SHORTWAVE UV ILLUMINATION

The DCS 6 RUVIS module makes use of a robust Crime-lite 82S PRO, providing accurate and consistent 280nm illumination from a 16 LED array. The Crime-lite 82S series holds an enviable reputation amongst crime scene examiners. Providing consistent, high-intensity, narrow bandwidth illumination in a robust and agile package, it is no wonder these devices have long remained the forensic light source of choice in many agencies. Fingermark examiners can utilise this handheld device to 'paint with light', providing the intuitive user-experience often favoured when imaging complex prints with RUVIS. A range of mounting arms are also available.

DCS6 RUVIS

DEDICATED SHORTWAVE UV CAMERA + LENS MODULE

To capture images of exceptional evidential value, the DCS RUVIS module features a dedicated shortwave UV camera, equipped with a UV specific lens. Featuring precision-grade optics and a 200-1100nm CMOS sensor, this application-specific capture system empowers examiners to produce courtroom-ready images of exceptional quality. The camera is fully integrated with DCS 6 software for a seamless workflow, allowing users to perform adjustments, enhancements, and add annotations, to maximise the potential of every fingerprint in a time-efficient manner.

VISUALISE | CAPTURE | ENHANCE

DCS 6 is designed to extract maximum value from every print while maintaining image integrity through a robust audit trail and SHA-256 Image Tamper Detection (ITD). From versatile illumination techniques to no-compromise photographic capture and advanced digital enhancement, DCS 6 outperforms expectations at every stage of imaging process.

Crime-lite 8X4 MK2

A multi-waveband ringlight, including 32 high intensity LEDs, 12 slot-in fluorescence viewing filters and an ambient light shielding lens bellows: this powerful tool provides illumination from UV across the visible spectrum, with 98 colour combinations to excite fluorescence and suppress backgrounds.

Crime-lite 8x4 MK 4: N-IR Imaging Ring Light

This enhanced ring light utilises our advanced Crime-lite illumination technology to provide powerful and accurate illumination for cutting-edge IR techniques, optimised for fpNatural powders with powerful Blue, Red, and IR LEDs.

Crime-lite 82S PRO UV Light Sources

Trusted at the crime scene for their powerful illumination and robust dependability, these handheld forensic light source utilise 16 UV LEDs to provide more intense UV at 280 and 365 nm; ideal for generating intense, directional UV radiation for fluorescence and R-UV applications.

Forensic Light Source (FLS)

Our FLS unit is based around a 100W halogen lamp with a 400-1000nm continuous bandpass filter, with fibreoptic light guides providing a range of advanced directional illumination options, offering the examiner the versatility to achieve results in the most challenging scenarios.

Halogen Fibre Optic Light Source and Accessories

A 150W halogen lamp with variable dimmer control, to be combined with fibreoptic light guides to provide the versatility needed to image the most challenging prints.
