Reflected Ultra-Violet Imaging System

A Reflected Ultra-Violet Imaging System (RUVIS) is a crime scene analysis tool used to locate latent fingerprints without the use of powders, fumes, or chemicals.

The System was developed by Sirchie Fingerprint Laboratories and the United States Army, and focuses on one particular section of shortwave ultraviolet light, the germicidal spectrum of light, which cannot be seen by the naked eye.
