HIGHLIGHTS
• 12MP SRI Technology
Unique to the VSC®8000/HS, Super Resolution Imaging (SRI) is an optical system providing excellent clarity and image resolution of documents captured using a high-precision 12MP camera.
• Integrated XY Stage
A motorised XY translation stage allows fast and precise positioning of documents at high magnification. Smooth sub-millimetre movements are controlled via simple on-screen controls
• 250x Optical Magnification
Interrogate documents in microscopic detail using the VSC8000’s advanced optics technology. Use up 250x optical magnification (2400x digital) to scrutinise evidence of tampering and the presence of secruity features including microprint and taggants.
• Microspectrophotometer
Non-destructive spectral analysis of documents can identify differences in ink and paper formulations. Absorption, Reflectance, Fluorescence & Transmitted spectra can be captured in real time and displayed on-screen in a simple graphical format.
Multi-spectral illumination
Directional, multi-spectral light sources from UV, through the visible spectrum, to IR can reveal details that are invisible under white light, including semi-covert security features designed to respond at set wavebands.
- UV activated features
- OVDs & holograms
- Anti-Stokes features
- Retro-reflective features
- Optically variable inks
- Phosphorescent inks
- Watermarks
- Multiple laser images
- Latent images
- Birefringent features
- See-through register
- Stamps and embossing
Alterations & Counterfeits
Reveal evidence of document abuse including page or photo substitution and chemical erasures.
Analyse inks and papers using infrared examination, hyperspectral imaging and the system’s integral microspectrometer.
Advanced Security Features
VSC software can auto-detect e-passport data and decode barcodes, Machine Readable Zones (MRZ), and concealed information.
Software is regularly updated to include examination procedures for new security techniques when adopted.
Facial Recognition
Identify an individual by comparing their physical appearance with the gemato photo(s) present in a passport or ID document.
An optional accessory, the VSC Facial Recognition Kit is powered by the
Live Face Identifcation System.
| Incredible Image Quality SRI Super-Resolution ImagingDesigned to meet the requirements of immigration authorities, government agencies, and forensic science laboratories, the VSC8000/HS includes advanced features for the examination, comparison, and authentication of documents including passports and travel documents, official letters and breeder documents, banknotes and cheques, works of art and valuable artifacts through the detection of irregularities. ID and Travel DocumentsVisual examinations of a document under high magnification can quickly reveal physical evidence of tampering while examinations under various wavebands of illumination can expose alterations.
Banknotes & ChequesThe VSC8000 is capable of revealing all levels of security features including covert features such as anti-Stokes inks, latent images, UV security threads, and taggants.
Valuable ArtefactsNon-destructive VSC examination makes it possible to establish the authenticity of an item, detect changes that have been made and to see beneath the surface of an artifact revealing its history.
