The VSC8000 provides users with an array of techniques for examination and authentication of all types of document. 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.

Features:

1. SRI 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.

2. Precision XY Stage: A motorised XY translation stage, with simple on-screen controls, allows fast and precise positioning of documents at high magnification.

3. Microspectrophotometer: Non-destructive spectral analysis of documents to identify differences in inks and paper formulation. Absorbtion, Reflectance, Fluorescence & Transmitted spectra are captured in real time and displayed on-screen in a simple graphical format.

4. 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.

5. Hyper-Spectral Imaging: An advanced technique for the discrimination of inks. Incremental images of documents are captured across a broad spectrum. A false colour overlay highlights spectral differences.

6.  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 systems new features come as a direct result of user feedback.
