Law enforcement officers need the right tools to do their work efficiently and safely. Whether it’s looking for concealed smuggled goods at the border or analyzing the chemical makeup of suspicious materials, advanced inspection solutions play an important part.

Videoscopes are used to look inside difficult-to-access areas, such as sealed cargo containers, to visually search for illicit materials. X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction analyzers are used to determine the chemistry and mineralogy of suspicious substances so that they can be identified. If a crime is committed, these same technologies, along with high-powered microscopes, are used in forensic analysis to help solve it.
