The technique of Electro Static Dust Print Lifting (ESL)
at crime scenes dates back to the early 1970’s. It is the ability to retrieve
dust shoe marks from floors, carpets, upholstery where photography and
conventional adhesive lifting film would be ineffective.
The benefits of
footwear lifting at crime scenes is fast becoming identified as the way forward
especially as many criminals today are 'forensic aware' and take precautions
not to leave fingerprints or DNA at the scene. However they must leave footprints
which is where the CSI Pathfinder has proved most invaluable.
The problem with
ESL machines currently on the market is that they are bulky, costly, lack power
when needed and often do not work because the connecting probes or leads have
been damaged by the previous user. They can also be very dangerous to the
operator because of the high voltage that is put out.
The Pathfinder eliminates
all these problems as it is small, lightweight, runs from a single PP3 battery
available anywhere and does not use probes or leads. It also has built in
safety features inasmuch that should the operator accidently receive a shock it
will not do any damage to him/her even if they have a heart pace maker. This
makes this unit the safest ESL machine on the market today.
Evaluated and now
widely used by Police departments throughout the world, this small device is
the best that money can buy.
