CUTTING-EDGE DOCUMENT EXAMINATION
Redefining the limits of optical performance to detect fakes, frauds, & counterfeit documents
Equipped with a high-performance optical and illumination system, VSC9000 enables the examiner to conduct multi-spectral examinations of documents in microscopic detail to authenticate legitimate documents, reveal sophisticated counterfeits and to identify evidence of tampering or manipulation with unparalleled accuracy.
Introducing the World’s Most Advanced VSC for Document Examination
Ensuring the authenticity of critical documents is an increasingly complex challenge. From the controlled environment of a police laboratory to the fast-moving world of international border security, VSC9000 provides a comprehensive forensic-level solution to the interrogation and analysis of all documents types.
An Evolutary Leap in Document Examination
The VSC9000 pushes the limits of optical performance for the detection of fake, fraudulent and counterfeit documents.
Exceptional Image Clarity from Low to High Magnification
Leverages four decades of foster+freeman expertise to capture examination-quality images of documents at up to 480x magnification.
Unmatched Accuracy in Document Examination
Provides a comprehensive suite of tools for uncompromising detection of counterfeits, forgeries, and signs of tampering or manipulation.
Identify Fakes, Frauds, and Counterfeits
Digitally dissect all forms of document, using advanced forensic analysis tools to unlock hidden evidence, authenticate genuine documents, and reveal fakes and alterations.
Because every microscopic detail matters
VSC9000 provides a complete forensic toolset to ‘dissect’ questioned documents, for the inspection of every fine detail from paper and ink composition to the presence of 3rd level embedded security features. Beyond the physical, VSC9000 can reveal and analyse every layer of digitally embedded data (including Biometric e-Chip, MRZ, IPI, RFID etc.) to provide a comprehensive 360o interrogation of a document.
