Forensic Viewing Shields

Like goggles, while using a forensic light source, the viewing shields serve two functions;

• Improving the visibility of the evidence
• Safety

The proper colored shield will block the specific wavelength of light emitted by the forensic or alternate light source, allowing only the longer wavelength fluorescence to pass.  In this way your eyes can better or more easily see the weak fluorescence caused by the light source.

From a standpoint of safety, the shileds prevent eye damage or annoyance by blocking the very bright light emitted by the forensic or alternate light source.  The shields not only block different colors they also block any UV light emitted, which is prone to damage the eye.

Always wear appropriate eye protection when using ANY Forensic or Alternate Light Source.
