Getting the most out of your Crime-lite®

A 3-day practical training course to enable delegates to get the most out of their Crime-lites

Upcoming Course Dates:
20th – 22nd September 2022

To detect every possible trace of evidence, investigators must utilise high-power narrowband light sources to search throughout the entire spectral range from UV to Near-IR. During this hands-on training course, delegates will be introduced to the full range of Crime-lite forensic light source applications and how to use Crime-lites more efficiently within their field.
