Can ultraviolet light detect blood stain?

[crrdsh]

Hey I saw something on one of those Court tv channels where they were able to detect traces of blood with a light(ultraviolet)??? Do you peeps know what kind of light this is?

My cat got its face all messed up and was found bleeding in the yard. Vet' says she might of got hit by a car, but i don't think so since she would have to jump 6 foot fence to get back into the backyard where she was found (esp. since cat's eyes are all hurt ...cant see too well). I found some small traces of blood and would like to see if i can find the route it took... (wierd yes... pet dectective maybe...but ya, i got some free time).

Thanks!

1. Watch CSI...you'll learn everything you need to know about forensics in 2 or 3 episodes.

2. This sounds like a job only Ace Ventura can handle.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question.

Maybe you can find your answer here.

Don't they use something like Luminol?

Yes, for blood you need Luminol.

Black light can detect other bodily fluids like semen and urine.
