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.
