title: Enhancement of the luminol test by means of light amplification.
abstract: The type of device commonly referred to as a "starlight scope" will amplify available light by a factor of approximately 17 000. The use of this device will permit an image to be formed by exceedingly small amounts of blood when reacted with luminol reagent. Modification of the apparatus is necessary to permit focusing at short distances.
