Brief Summary of Expert Guest lecture:

On September 25, 2023, an insightful international guest lecture was held via

Zoom, focusing on the theme "New Protocols of Alternative Light Source for
Detecting Latent Biological Evidence on Items." The distinguished speaker for
this event was Dott Eugenio D'Orio, the Director of Bio Forensics Research in

Italy. Dott Eugenio D'Orio's lecture provided valuable insights into the
emerging protocols and methodologies utilizing alternative light sources for

detecting latent biological evidence on various items. The lecture commenced
with an introduction to alternative light sources, explaining their significance
and applications in forensic investigations. Dott D'Orio elucidated the different

types of ALS and their varying wavelengths, emphasizing their utility in
revealing latent biological evidence. Dott D'Orio detailed the principles and

mechanisms underlying the use of ALS in forensic analysis. This included
discussions on the interaction between biological evidence and specific

wavelengths of light, enabling a better understanding of the detection process.
The presentation showcased the latest protocols and techniques developed to

optimize the detection of latent biological evidence using ALS. Dott D'Orio
shared advancements in ALS technologies and protocols, demonstrating their
efficacy in enhancing sensitivity and specificity in forensic examinations.
