Introducing the New foster+freeman VSC9000
A complete document examination workstation for the detection of counterfeit, forged, and altered documents.
From the controlled environment of a police laboratory to the fast-moving world of international border security, the foster+freeman VSC9000 document examination workstation delivers a comprehensive forensic-level solution to the interrogation and analysis of all questioned documents.
Equipped with a high-performance optical and illumination system, the VSC9000 builds on 45 years of VSC technology to provide experts with the tools required to conduct multi-spectral examinations of documents for the authentication of legitimate documents, to reveal sophisticated counterfeits and identify evidence of tampering or manipulation with unparalleled accuracy.
- New technology provides the highest forensic-level solution for the interrogation of questioned documents.
- Precision dual-camera imaging system extends the limits of optical performance.
- Advanced illumination and imaging modes enable examiners to authenticate printed and digitally embedded security features
Advanced illumination and imaging modes enable examiners to authenticate printed and digitally embedded security features present in genuine documents.
Uncover Hidden Evidence in Unprecedented Detail
Because every microscopic detail matters, the VSC 9000 captures incredibly high-resolution images of documents (from 0x to 480x magnification), which may be further scrutinised using a powerful set of forensic tools that include multi-spectral and hyperspectral imaging, 3-D surface analysis, micro spectrometry, and digital image enhancement, as well as providing forensic-level access to all embedded biometric data contained within a document eChip.
Precision dual-camera imaging system extends the limits of optical performance to detect the presence of fake, fraudulent, and counterfeit documents.
Setting the Standard for High-Level Document Examinations
For over 45 years, foster+freeman VSC systems have been trusted by experts worldwide to provide the highest level of document examination in forensic laboratories, at border security checkpoints, immigration offices, banks, and other government and commercial settings where document authenticity is critical.
Through ongoing collaboration with document examiners, security feature manufacturers, and document issuers, foster+freeman has engineered the VSC 9000 to deliver the most comprehensive document interrogation available to date. This cutting-edge system incorporates a range of innovative and improved examination technologies, including:
VSC SRI Super Resolution Imaging
An optical system providing excellent clarity and image resolution of documents captured using two precision 12MP cameras.
Multi-Modal Illumination
Provides over 100 modes of LED and incandescent lighting to conduct examinations that span the entire forensic imaging spectrum from UV to IR.
Integral Micro Spectrometer
For the non-destructive, quantifiable analysis of a document’s material composition.
Advanced Imaging Modes (HDR/HSI/3D)
To boost image quality, create hyperspectral image stacks, and generate a 3D image of a document’s surface topography for the visualisation of imperfections and signs of tampering etc.
EAC Chip Authentication on ePassports
To view all personal data contained on the RFID chip of an Electronic Machine-Readable Travel Document.
AI ASSIST MRZ Reader
For the automated recognition of document Machine Readable Zones (MRZ).
The Ultimate Verdict in Document Authentication
New technology provides the highest forensic-level solution for the interrogation of questioned documents including passports, ID cards, visas, driver’s licences etc.
Providing an unrivalled combination of inspection and interrogation tools within a single high-specification system, the VSC9000 provides the ultimate verdict in document authentication for criminal investigation, border and immigration security, and should be the number one choice for all applications where the integrity of documents or printed material comes into question.
