Introduction
The Arrowhead Forensics FSIS-II is a full spectrum imaging system for revealing fingerprints. The system comprises of illumination from UV 254nm to Visible to near Infra Red. This innovative system is capable of locating, capturing and casework managing marks on a variety of substrates in a few seconds including glass, metal, wood, paper, thermal paper and even food items.
FSIS-II is the most advanced forensic image capturing system in the world. The FSIS-II features a patented 20MP digital camera with 50mm quartz UV lens. Now, for the first time, the new FSIS can capture an image in FULL COLOR in 5K! With over 20 megapixels of resolution and sensitivity from 254nm to 1100nm, the FSIS-II can easily capture a full handprint at 1000 PPI (pixels per inch), and micro evidence up to 4,800 PPI. There is absolutely no limit to the various types of evidence that can be processed using the FSIS-II.

Why full spectrum imaging?
Simply the answer to this question is that you reveal marks you haven't previously been able to detect with traditional techniques. Full spectrum imaging provides short and long range UV, visible and IR illumination along with instant background removal which allows for the detection of latent marks much more easily.
The in-built FSIS-II integration features extends imaging capabilities across a broad range of surfaces including the ability to capture ridge detail on curved surfaces, eliminating the potential for errors caused by photo-stitching processes.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) - Allows a single image to show detail in both dark and bright areas, verses needing to choose to expose for one or the other. retain ridge detail in brighter parts of the image, while simultaneously revealing parts of the image that would have previously been too dark to see.
Background removal - with shortwave UV backgrounds are removed effortlessly.
Non Destructive way to analyse almost any piece of evidence. This includes metals, plastics paper and even food items.
