Brian Mancester, Esquire answered:

The machine shown is called a Total Station. It is used for surveying, construction, mapping, utilities, environmental studies. It uses very precise lasers. Some require reflectors and there are models that are reflectorless.

The model you show looks similar to a South NTS but it could be a CST/Berger.

[Blogger’s note:  In forensic science, it is the proper way to record a crime scene using the Cartesian Coordinate method or the Polar Coordinate System.

How is crime scene investigation properly conducted?
