UV light is an invaluable non-destructive tool for investigators and scientists.
Crime Scene Investigation: Forensic light sources emitting UVA "black light" cause certain biological fluids (semen, saliva), fibers, and illicit substances to fluoresce, making them visible to the naked eye. This helps in identifying and collecting crucial evidence.
Document Verification: UV lamps are used to reveal security features embedded in passports, currency, and official documents, helping to detect forgeries.
Scientific Analysis: In laboratories, UV light is used in chromatography and other analytical techniques to identify and quantify substances.
From safeguarding public health to enabling advanced manufacturing, the diverse applications of UV lamps continue to expand, driven by ongoing innovations in lamp technology and a deeper understanding of the power of the ultraviolet spectrum.
