Forensic Sciences
An elegant and economical way to add fluorescence to stereo microscopes for evidence examination. I love it!
– Skip Palenik, Microtrace
The NIGHTSEA Model SFA Stereo Microscope Fluorescence Adapter is an economical way to turn any existing stereo microscope into a go-to tool for screening trace evidence. Not everything has fluorescence, but when it is present it can make all the difference in detection. You can’t analyze something until you find it, and fluorescence can help in that critical step. The SFA makes it easy to add this method to your suite of screening tools.

Image Subtraction to Isolate ‘Pure’ Fluorescence
Fluorescence imaging is best done in complete darkness, or at least when it is dark enough that the contribution of ambient light is so low that it is effectively completely underexposed. Sometimes that is not practical. It is not always a bad thing to have some non-fluorescent background as that can give context to an […]

Fluorescence and ‘Rarity’
A species is ‘rare’ in a habitat if you can find fewer of them than you can of similar organisms. Sometimes you are limited by your ability to search, and fluorescence can be a powerful tool to find otherwise hard-to-find specimens.
