Glass Trace Evidence
Craic Technologies Inc. has collaborated with Laboratory Imaging sro to
introduce the rIQ (refractive index
quantification) system for analyzing
glass trace evidence. It combines
image analysis software, an advanced optical design and electronics to enable criminalists in forensic
laboratories to measure and quantify
the refractive index of multiple glass
fragments simultaneously, quickly
and accurately. It monitors the
change in refractive index of calibrated oils as they are heated and
cooled. It is offered in a turnkey
stand-alone configuration, as part
of a microspectrophotometer that
includes color analysis of glass, or
as part of an upgrade package for
older units. The stand-alone package
includes a phase contrast microscope, a high-resolution digital camera,
the optical interface, a thermal stage, controlling electronics and software.

Dual-Camera Adapter
Andor Technology plc has launched the TuCam adapter for simultaneous
two-camera macro- and microscopic imaging. Suited to fast, concurrent
detection of two different fluorophores in experiments such as colocaliza-tion Förster resonance energy transfer and ratiometric ion signaling, it
is compatible with the company’s low-light imaging cameras, including
iXon3 and Luca electron-multiplying CCDs, and with the Clara interline
