Exceptional Image Clarity from Low to High Magnification

VSC9000 leverages four decades of foster+freeman expertise to capture examination-quality images of documents at up to 480x magnification.

Unmatched Accuracy in Document Examination

VSC9000 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, etc.) to provide a comprehensive 360o interrogation of a document.

3D Imaging Module

FOR VSC WORKSTATIONS

Allows examiners to derive a 3D model of a documents surface topography in order to better analyse security features, pen-tip strokes and other impressions in paper.

This module enables the generation of 3D images of documents for the examination of intersecting lines, indentations, surface defects, and 3D print features (intaglio etc.). Images can be colour-mapped, inverted, and rotated throughout 3-dimensional space to aid analysis.

Please note – this module is included as standard with VSC 8000 and 9000 workstations.
