Compact Workstation for the Forensic Examination of Documents

A compact and highly capable document imaging system, the new VSC ® 800 provides document examiners with extensive facilities for the verification of passports, visas and ID cards, and for the general examination of suspect or questioned documents.

Completing the VSC ® range, the VSC ® 800 offers the ideal balance between size and performance.

Smaller than the flagship VSC ® 8000, the VSC ® 800 features similar high quality optics, powerful LED illumination, including pulsed UV and anti-Stokes IR for the examination of 3rd level document security
features, and is an ideal workstation for professional QD examiners, law enforcement agencies, and for those tasked with the inspection of travel and ID documents at immigration and border controls.

Analysis techniques for the forensic interrogation of documents


Suitable for the most demanding of document examinations, the VSC ® 800 provides examiners with a full suite of analysis techniques from the basic, UV-Vis-IR imaging modes, to the most advanced, microspectrophotometry and phosphorescent decay imaging etc.

  • Multi-spectral Illumination
    Exploit the fluorescent and reflective properties of papers and inks to reveal additions, alterations or erasures that would be impossible to detect in the visible spectrum.

  • 4K UltraHD Imaging
    Examine crystal-clear images of documents captured via the VSC ® 800 5MP colour/IR sensitive camera and reproduced in unprecedented detail on a 32” 4K monitor.

  • High Magnification
    Inspect documents at up to x130 zoom magnification to assess the print quality of documents and detect minute imperfections or evidence of tampering.

  • Advanced Colour Analysis
    Perform advanced forensic analysis of a document by recording absolute light measurements at each point in an image to create Multi-spectral Fluorescence and Multi-spectral Absorption image data cubes.

  • Extended Field of View
    By removing the transmitted light base, it is possible to increase the VSC ® 800 observable area for the examination of larger objects such as books, ornaments, artworks etc.

  • Digital Image Analysis
    Use the VSC ® Suite software to boost the appearance of weak or faded print, sharpen images, remove background colours, and discriminate between closely related colours.

  • Further analysis using: Optional Spectrometer Module
    An optional accessory, the VSC ® 800 Spectrometer Module captures absorption, reflectance, and transmitted spectra in real time with results displayed on-screen in a simple graphical format enabling the examiner to identify differences in ink and
    paper formulations.

Examine and authenticate passports, ID cards, visas, and drivers licences

Ideally suited to second line of document examination, the VSC ® 800 enables examiners to authenticate identity documents, including passports, ID cards, visas, and drivers licences, and to detect counterfeit and falsified documents through the examination of optical and embedded security features and by revealing evidence of alterations and tampering.

  • Examine Security Inks and Dyes
    Examine commonplace and specialist document security features, including inks and dyes, using narrowband illumination to stimulate fluorescence and ‘activate’ the feature.

  • Reveal Alterations and Tampering
    Use a combination of zoom magnification and UV-Vis-IR illumination to detect evidence of tampering including data alterations, erasures, photo and page substitution etc.

  • Automated Examinations
    For bulk processing of similar documents, the examiner may pre-select examination settings to be automatically performed by the VSC ® 800, with results displayed as thumbnails and stored together with examination settings.

  • Detect and Decode E-Passport Data
    Interrogate and authenticate biometric passports and digital documents by decoding data embedded within eChips, 1D and 2D barcodes, ICAO encoded Machine Readable Zones (MRZ), Invisible Personal Information (IPI), Invisible Constant Images (ICI), and other encoded data including LetterScreen++.

  • Reveal 3rd Level Security Features
    Visualise advanced ‘3rd-Level’ security features including anti-Stokes IR fluorescent inks, optically variable inks, ghost images, and phosphorescent UV decay.

  • View OVDs, Holograms & Kinegrams
    Examine the movement and color changes of Optically Variable Devices using a 21-LED array capable of vertical and horizontal scanning.

  • Further analysis using: Genuine Document Reference Images
    Verify the authenticity of documents under investigation against up-to-date information and images of thousands of passports, ID cards, driving licences, visas and banknotes from countries around the world by subscribing to regularly updated reference databases.
