HS-100-12F is the perfect companion for its more sensitive cousin, the MCS-400, at crime scene areas where AC power or Generators are not available.

Compact packaging, with unmatched intensity and number of wavelengths !

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

Ask for a quotation on the HandScope, 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.
