Photoluminescence spectra of dry untreated semen have been measured and a suggested method for rapid detection of untreated semen stains is derived from these measurements. The method is presented in the form of a flow chart to cover most crime scene situations. The absorption spectrum of dry untreated blood has also been measured and a suggested method for enhancement and photography of blood stains is derived from this measurement. The method is presented in the form of a flow chart. Both methods are based on the use of a high intensity light source such as the Polilight.
