Watching CSI NY on TV tonight, it appeared that they were using an ultraviolet X5 to search for evidence at a crime scene. Actually since I've never used the ultraviolet version of the X5 I wondered if they weren't using the standard version of the X5 so it would show up on the TV camera. Anyway this seemed to be a level of detail accuracy that I wouldn't expect from the normal TV shows, especially considering how inaccurate the CSI shows can be sometimes.
accurate prop used on CSI NY?

The UV X5 (if it uses the same LEDs as the UV X1) has a pretty purplish beam, so it just might have been the real thing... Even if CSI isn't always accurate, it's still fun to watch. High-tech Holmes indeed.

The beam seemed much too bright to be the real thing. With the UV X5 I had, the light appeared quite dim. They were probably using a blue LED version.
