This white paper presents a first-ever automated approach to digitalize spectral properties found on forensic trace carriers. By using high-performance Excelitas lenses and AI-driven software the few deviating traces on a trace carrier can be identified which can be decisive to solve a crime. Such traces are called rare traces in forensics.
