HandScope^® Halogen HS-100

The introduction of this battery or AC powered unit allowed many department's to obtain their first forensic light source.  A true forensic light source was now within reach by small Police Dept’s or Crime Scene units.

The unit is configured with a unique set-up with 10 Filters spread over two 6-positions wheels which allow the output of 11 primary wavelengths and 9 more. See listings below.

As with all SPEX Forensic Light Sources, One hand operation to hold the unit and change wavelengths.

The HandScope® Halogen features a 100W lamp powered either by the power supply or the included rechargeable battery, 2 BUILT-IN Filter wheels for direct output of 20 wavelengths with thumb selection, a tripod mount on the bottom, and rugged metal case.

Features

The HandScope® Halogen contains a main lamp housing unit with internal 12V cooling fan, handle on top and tripod mount on bottom, 
- adjustable collimator for the front allowing to get a uniform round illumination from various distances and thumbscrew lock. 
- 2 x 6 position filter wheels, integrated in the lamp housing, with wavelength display for each position, and with wavelength combination capability.
- Set of four goggles: (1) yellow, (2) orange and (1) red. Set of 4 longpass filters: Two 62mm diameter RED camera filters and two 62mm diameter ORANGE camera filters.
- 110V or 220V AC Power Supply with two front connectors: One for AC function, one for battery charge.
- Rechargeable 12V battery (25-40 minutes use per charge)
- Extension cable (>5meters) to connect the Lamp Housing unit directly to a Car 12V output (Cigarette Lighter plug)
- Spare 100W Lamp (1000 hours life time)
- Rugged metal (Aluminum finish) Carrying case with custom cut foam.
- Manual 20 Wavelength capability:
     11 Primary Wavelengths for searching and photography: 415-440-465-490-515-540-565-590-615-CSS+ White
     9 Additional secondary wavelengths resulting from unique combination capability of HandScope (Patent pending) – These new center wavelengths are listed below and used for photography:

415+440 = 427.5
440+465= 452.5
465+490=477.5
490+515= 502.5
515+540= 527.5
540+565= 552.5
565+590= 577.5
590+615=602.5
515 + CSS= 500 non symmetrical

Options:

Compact packaging, with unmatched intensity and number of wavelengths !

Flexible design – No cumbersome manual interchange of filters as in other 75-100W units.

Ask for a quotation on the HandScope® Halogen, but keep in mind your crime scene units should try to budget for both the highest intensity crime scene light source (MCS-400-8F or 12F / 16F) for AC operation, and the HandScope for remote crime scenes for battery operation.
