What is RUVIS and how does it work?

What will be an ideal response?


RUVIS is the Reflected Ultraviolet Imaging System, which can locate prints on most nonabsorbent surfaces without the aid of chemical or powder treatments. RUVIS detects a print by aiming UV light at the surface suspected of containing prints. When the UV light strikes the fingerprint, the light is reflected back to the viewer, differentiating the print from its background surface. The transmitted UV light is then converted into visible light by an image intensifier.
