FORENSIC / FIRE ARSON INVESTIGATIONS
Forensic investigations can cover a wide variety of potential crime scenes. Investigators are trying to examine evidence to determine “what happened”. Investigations include homicide, post blast, fire, and product failure analysis. A Golden Engineering X-ray generator can be a valuable tool used to gather information without disturbing the evidence. The table below summarizes the attributes that are of primary importance in the security market.
| Features | Forensic Application Needs | Golden X-ray | Golden X-ray Benefits |
| Convenience | Examination of evidence without disruption or risk of contamination in a timely manner. | • | Evidence can be x-rayed at the crime scene by investigators who can view the radiographs within minutes. |
| Safety | Ability to x-ray having minimal training and facility requirements. | • | Golden Engineering Pulsed X-ray generators contain no radioactive material. Pulsed technology keeps exposure time at a minimum allowing reduced stand-off distances. Golden Engineering’s X-ray generators have built in safeguards. They are easy to understand and operate. |
| Portability | On site investigations require portable generator use in remote areas, lacking in power, x-raying objects that cannot be moved. | • | Lightweight, battery powered X-ray generators are just as easy to use in the field as they are in lab setting. |
| Affordability | Smaller investigative firms with limited resources. | • | Most affordable portable X-ray generators available worldwide. |
| Versatility | Examine items of unusual shapes, size, and position. | • | The 40 degree open beam makes it possible to X-ray objects of unusual shape and size. |
