The Essential VSC
Forensic Document Workstation

Designed to meet the requirements of immigration authorities, government security agencies & forensic science laboratories, VSC Workstations are suitable for the examination, comparison and authentication of all written and printed documents as well as works of art and valuable artefacts.

Super Resolution
Document Imaging

VSC Intaglio Print

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 camera.

Detect Fakes, Counterfeits
& Evidence of Tampering

VSC reveals counterfeit serial number

Visual examinations of documents under high magnification can quickly reveal physical evidence of tampering while examinations under various wavebands of illumination can expose alterations.

Visualise and Authenticate Document Security Features

VSC Hologram microprint

Used by immigration authorities, government agencies, and forensic examiners worldwide, the VSC 8000/HS includes specialist modes of illumination and licensed software to detect and authenticate semi-covert security features that cannot otherwise be discerned by the human eye

For the Expert Analysis of All Questioned Documents

Designed to meet the requirements of immigration authorities, government agencies, and forensic science laboratories, the VSC 8000/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 artefacts through the detection of irregularities.

For the forensic-level examination of passports, ID cards, visas etc. the VSC8000/HS is used by border and immigration authorities worldwide.

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/HS 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 artefact revealing its history.
