Introducing the essential VSC

forensic document workstation

 

The VSC8000 combines sophisticated digital imaging and multi-wavelength LED technology with a clear and efficient software interface, to provide a complete solution to the examination of all questioned documents.

Infrared, hyper-spectral imaging and the systems integral spectrometer may all be used to detect the use of multiple inks on a document, and in many cases, establish the order in which different inks were added to a page.

 

Examine and authenticate documents

  • With advanced technology used and trusted by forensic examiners and immigration authorities worldwide

 

Reveal hidden details and evidence of counterfeiting

  • Using an array of examination facilities to inspect security features and detect irregularities

 

Capture and observe UltraHD images

  • Using Super-Resolution Imaging to capture sharp, bright images of documents

super-resolution-imaging

Super-Resolution Imaging

Unique to the VSC8000, Super-Resolution Imaging (SRI) is an optical system providing excellent clarity and image resolution of documents up to A4/Letter size.
 
    

motorised-xy-stage

Precision XY Stage

A motorized XY translation stage, with simple on-screen controls, allows fast and precise positioning of documents at high magnification.

microspectrophotometer

Microspectrophotometer

Non-destructive spectral analysis of documents to identify differences in inks and paper formulation. 

 

 

 

 

 

multi-spectral illumination

Multi-spectral illumination

Directional, multi-spectral light sources from UV through the visible spectrum, to IR can reveal details that are normally invisible to the eye, increase image contrast and excite document security features.

 

hyperspectral-document-imaging

Hyper-Spectral Imaging

An advanced technique for the discrimination of inks. Incremental images of documents are captured across a broad spectrum. A false-color overlay highlights spectral differences.

 

user centred system design

User-Centered Design

At each stage of the VSC8000 design process, attention has been given to the requirements of the end user. Many of the system's new features come as a direct result of user feedback.

Valuable Artefacts
Visual examinations of a document under high magnification can quickly reveal physical evidence of tampering while examinations under various wavebands of illumination can expose alterations. The 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.

 

 Non-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.
