Forensic analysis using invisible radiation?

The Criminal Investigation Department of the Czech Police, in collaboration with Radalytica, has developed a device that enables samples to be examined using advanced methods, including ultraviolet and infrared imaging, laser profiling, X-ray fluorescence, and diffraction imaging. The robotic system reveals what has hitherto been hidden from forensic scientists’ eyes. It can be used, for example, in the investigation of industrial accidents, where it is necessary to examine the condition of pipes, the quality of welds, or the condition of pressure gauges. It can also be used in the investigation of large fires, traffic and aviation accidents, or in verifying the authenticity of works of art.
