Precision UV-Visible lens for forensic crime scene analysis

The Model 228 lens from Resolve Optics is a precision-engineered solution for Reflected Ultraviolet Imaging Systems (RUVIS), helping crime scene investigators detect fingerprints, bloodstains, and other trace evidence that may be missed with traditional methods.

Accurate evidence collection is critical to solving crimes, but conventional approaches - such as visual inspection and fingerprint lifting - can miss subtle or hidden clues. RUVIS cameras operating in the deep UV spectrum (320–400 nm) are transforming forensic investigation, and the Model 228 lens is at the heart of this evolution.

Designed for both UV and visible light imaging, the Model 228 allows investigators to locate and focus on targets in visible light, then switch to UV imaging seamlessly - without the need to refocus. Its compact telescopic focusing mount provides a wide range of movement in a small form factor, making it ideal for challenging field conditions.

The lens delivers true high-resolution macro imaging with 1:1 magnification, perfectly matching the optical resolution of both the lens and the RUVIS image intensifier. With its broad field of view and exceptional clarity, the Model 228 is widely used in applications ranging from fingerprint detection to documenting human skin damage at crime scenes.
