New VSC 5000 document workstation features latest technology

Foster & Freeman have launched their latest workstation for questioned document examination. Designated the VSC 5000, the new multi-functional workstation supercedes the VSC2000/HR and has been updated with additional features which include:

• a 3 colour CCD high resolution firewire camera with 1360×1024 output pixels per colour

• a medium wave ultraviolet light source, with a peak wavelength of 313nm, for examining security print

• a high intensity transmitted spot light for penetrating more opaque documents or heavily masked or concealed information

• infrared illumination, above 800nm, free of visible light, for examining security features printed with anti-Stokes ink, which fluoresce in the visible region of the spectrum when illuminated with infrared

• an improved graphical user interface that allows the examiner to control the instrument more easily. Light sources, filters and image processing functions are selected from simple on-screen icons.

• an improved casework management system, based on Windows 2000, which offers more flexibility, allowing examiners to customise their file formats and store and recall images more easily

• an enhanced optical filter system for more controlled document illumination. Independent high and low pass filters provide 78 different wavebands for examining infrared luminescence.

In addition, the VSC 5000 supports multiple user profiles and offers password protection over casework files. The system is also available in most languages. For more information consult your nearest Foster & Freeman sales office.
