ChemImage to present a workshop on hyperspectral imaging at ANZFSS 2014

ChemImage will present a workshop focused on hyperspectral imaging at the Australian and New Zealand Forensic Science Society's 22^nd International Symposium on the Forensic Sciences in Adelaide, Australia. Forensic Scientists will be in attendance for discussion concerning the advancements that hyperspectral imaging can bring to examination procedures.

Dr. Jeffrey Beckstead, Director of Product Development at ChemImage, will host a workshop during the conference on September 5, 2014, informing the attending forensic examiners of the techniques involved in hyperspectral imaging into several areas of forensic investigations. Utilizing a HSI Examiner™ 1000 and a HSI Examiner™ 200 QD, hands on demonstration will be performed focusing around forensic applications such as questioned document analysis, latent print examination, biological fluid, gunshot, and bruise pattern detection. The workshop will also include information on current research going on with the HSI Examiner 1000 involving biological fluid detection and visualization of gunshot residue patterns. Application notes for these projects can be found at http://www.chemimage.com/resources/application-notes/forensics.aspx.

Also at the conference, ChemImage will be exhibiting two of their four hyperspectral imaging products throughout the meeting at Booth # 53 adjacent to Australian distributor, XTEK, from August 31 – September 3, 2014. The HSI Examiner 200 QD and HSI Examiner 1000 will be on display for software and processing technique demonstrations. The HSI Examiner 200 QD has several illumination sources for hyperspectral imaging that are specialized for document examination. The HSI Examiner 1000 is a larger staged operating system employing the same technology for detection of evidence samples with greater regions of interest.
