magnification—up to 50X. The FXE350 features a wide range of color
correction, brightness, and contrast on the oversize 22-inch LCD, high-
resolution (1680 x 1050 pixels) viewing screen. In short, the FXE350 opens
many new doors for forensic examination of the many forms, shapes and
sizes that physical evidence may take.
Digital technology affords first generation sharp, clear, high-resolution images
regardless of the subject matter.
The forward-mounted camera is high above the table, so you have plenty of
room to work with three-dimensional objects. This entire unit requires the use
of a single 110-120V AC power receptacle (also available in 220V).
The FXE350 is the perfect tool for examining:
Image reversal in black and white
• Tools and toolmarks
• Fingerprint/palmprint record cards and latent prints
• Footprint evidence
• Trace evidence: hair, fibers, glass fragments, soil, etc.
• Documents: printed and handwritten
• And much more
The FXE350 is at home in virtually any size laboratory. It adds a new
level of sophistication to the whole process of evidence examination and
identification.
