Photodocumentation and visual evidence in non-accidental injuries is very important for medical evaluation, peer review and legal evidence.
Low-cost, readily available consumer electronics provide an effective solution for photodocumentation through magnification. This equipment can ofen be used in conjunction or in place of medical colposcopes without compromising visual detail and in some situations surpasing standard medical equipment.

In addition, you may find our
