Description

The YR06681 Motorized Digital Forensic Comparison Microscope, newly developed in 2013, is a state-of-the-art instrument designed specifically for research work in forensic science laboratories. It is the ultimate tool for comparing all types of bullets, cartridge cases, sharp objects, and paper documents.

This system can be fully controlled either manually or via professional computer software. With its built-in high-resolution color digital camera, it provides real-time image and video output to a computer. When paired with professional crime image analysis software, it becomes an ideal workstation for forensic scientists. Offering a full range of comparison system functions and consistent quality at a very competitive price, it is the premier choice for modern forensic investigation.

Design and Technology (or Functionality)

The YR06681 integrates advanced mechanical and optical engineering to provide a seamless comparison experience. Its core technology includes:

• Motorized Control System: Effortless control over X/Y/Z 3D movement of the working stages, as well as the rotation of the round stage, all manageable through a touch panel or software.
• Optical Excellence: Features a 6-hole click-stop nosepiece with LWD Infinity Plan Achromatic objectives (0.5x to 6x) and a magnification correction system to ensure precise matching.
• Advanced Comparison Modes: Motorized switching between full left image, full right image, split-image comparison, or overlapping (superimposed) image comparison.
• Comprehensive Illumination: A versatile lighting suite including 50W cooling-fan halogen lights, 5W LED cold lights, and specialized attachments for coaxial, polarized, and ultraviolet (UV) light.
• Integrated Imaging: A built-in 3.0M pixel CCD camera (2048*1536 resolution) ensures high-fidelity image capture via USB 2.0.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can the comparison modes be adjusted manually? Yes, the system allows for both motorized and manual control for switching between left/right, split-image, or overlapping views.
2. What is the benefit of the Coaxial Light lens? The coaxial light is specifically designed for observing deep holes or smooth, reflective surfaces where standard side lighting would create shadows or glare.
3. Does the system include bullet holders? Yes, the package includes a set of two standard bullet holders and a universal holder set designed for various bullet types, cartridges, and other forensic objects.

Advantages and Disadvantages (Pros and Cons)

Advantages

• Wide Magnification Range: Offers a total magnification from 2x up to 240x.
• Hybrid Control: The flexibility of choosing between motorized precision and manual tactile control.
• Professional Software: Includes specialized forensic image analysis software for evidence documentation.
• Wide Voltage Range: Compatible with 80V~240V power supplies for global use.

Disadvantages

• • • Complexity: The wide range of motorized features and software tools may require initial technical training.
    • Stationary Design: Given its size and weight, it is intended as a permanent laboratory fixture rather than a portable unit.

    Field Use and Recommendations

    This microscope is essential for Forensic Science Laboratories, Police Departments, and Document Examination Units. It excels in ballistic identification and the verification of forged documents or currency.

    Recommendations for Operation:

    • Calibration: Use the built-in magnification correction lens to ensure that measurements are perfectly synchronized between the left and right optical paths.
    • Lighting Adjustment: Utilize the separate touch panel switches to control halogen and LED sources independently, finding the perfect contrast for specific evidence types.
    • Environment: For the best high-resolution results at 240x magnification, ensure the microscope is placed on a stable, vibration-free laboratory bench.
