APPLICATION OF SPECIAL EQUIPMENT FOR PHOTOFIXATION OF TRACE INFORMATION OF TRACOLOGICAL ORIGIN

Abstract

Forensic technology is developing in three main areas: operational and investigative, research, preventive. The most difficult area is the development of research equipment, which is used mainly in the laboratory by highly qualified specialists. Forensic photography is a system of special methods, techniques and tools used to obtain new facts during forensic examinations. The technical equipment for obtaining a forensic photograph when establishing the true circumstances of a criminal case and conducting expert research is analyzed. Employees of the Department of Forensic Research of the Khmelnytskyі NDEKTs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs proposed the design of equipment for photo-fixation of trace information of trasological origin during forensic expert research. The scheme of the general design and a kind of the basic knots of the equipment is resulted. The results of researches of a dactyloscopic film at artificial oblique illumination with use of the device for fixing of traces of a trasological origin are resulted. As shown by research on photo-fixation of trace information of tracing origin, the proposed design of the equipment provides the ability to obtain high-quality digital images of the entire surface of the object for further analysis by an expert.
