TECHNIQUES USED IN EXAMINATION OF QUESTIONED SIGNATURES

STEREOSCOPIC MICROSCOPE
The use of stereoscopic microscope detects retouching, patching and un- natural pen lift in
signature analysis. Using the stereoscopic microscope with proper angle and intensity of illumination
aids in the decipherment of erasures, some minute manipulation, such as defects in stroke structures,
alignment of strokes, tremors, hesitations, pen jumps and line quality of writing strokes, and the
sequence of entries clone by different writing instrument, discovers over- S to be lapping of line,
uneven distribution of ink, overwriting, fraudulent addition, interlineations, and pencil outline of
forged signatures.

SHADOWGRAPH MACHINE
This machine is useful in both signature, handwriting and type writing analysis because it
enlarges minute details as much as 20x without ocular piece

TRANSMITTED LIGHT EXAMINATION


EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGICAL INSTITUTE
Murallon, Boac, Marinduque
Criminology Department College

The use of this technique helps the examiner to determine the presence of erasures, matching
of serration and some other types of alterations in the document.

INDIRECT LIGHTING EQUIPMENT (OBLIQUE LIGHT EXAMINATION).


Oblique light examination is the proper technique to be used in decipherment of faded
handwritings, erased entries in the document, determination of outlines in traced forgery, embossed
impressions, and viewing watermark and other element of characters in the document.

PHOTOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION
Reproduction of the document through photograph supplements the microscope by recording
what is seen by the magnifying lens such as the uneven distribution of ink in retouching can be
visible, erased portion and pen jumps. Relatively, the enlargement of documents in question is in
preparation of comparison chart for court presentation whenever the examiner renders expert
opinion.

ULTRA VIOLET (UV) EXAMINATION


The use of ultra violet light is essential in documents which consist several pages and
substitution is being suspected. This is also useful in examining type writer ribbon, and detects
differences between genuine and counterfeit bills, strip stamps, and labels in merchandize. This type
of examination is done in a darkroom after the lamp has been warmed up in order to give a
maximum output of the ultraviolet light. The duration of exposing the document to ultra violet light
should be to the minimum to avoid fading of some writing ink and typewriter ribbon.

ELECTROSTATIC DETECTION APPARATUS (ESDA)


This apparatus is good. And useful in detecting indentation/indented writings on a document,
and records transparencies of any indentations.

VIDEO SPECTRAL COMPARATOR (VSC)


EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGICAL INSTITUTE
Murallon, Boac, Marinduque
Criminology Department College

This comparator is useful in the examination of marked or obliterated text, watermarks,


visible fluorescence, paper fluorescence and oblique illumination of indented writings and
embossing. It also detects variation in the infra-red characteristics of inks; reveals alterations by
eliminating interfering background luminescence. By the use of appropriate filters, background or
other strokes can be eliminated.

HAND LENS EXAMINATION


In almost all questioned document examination, hand lens is commonly utilized in aid to
examination because it is a convenient instrument to handle. It enlarges the size of the letter or
character for the clear view of the examination of the examiner.
