    EX A M I NA T I O N
    MAGNIFYING LENS/GLASS

     Bank personnel and other peOple involved in currency


    examinations usually use and ordinary hand-lens; the maximum diameter of
    which is four inches, and this appears big with its wide frame it has a magnifying
    power of two times the original only. Magnifying lenses of five times or more
    magnifying power, with buiit-in-Iighting are more useful.
    SHADOWGRAPH
    • a pictorial image formed by casting a shadow, usually
    of the hands, upon a rightful surface or screen.
    STEREOSCOPIC BINOCULAR MICROSCOPE

     stereo microscope is a crucial piece of


    equipment used in a forensic laboratory for
    the examination of a wide variety of evidence
    ranging from glass paint chips soil fiber hair
    document bones and its fragments etc. the
    primary motive of the stereo microscope is to
    produce a moderately magnified 3-D image.
    TABLE LAMPS WITH ADJUSTABLE SHADES
    used for
    controlled illumination; needed in
    sidelight examination wherein light is
    placed at
    a low-angle in a position oblique to
    plane or document.
    TRANSMITTED LIGHT GADGET

    a device where light comes from beneath


    or
    behind glass on document is placed
    ULTRA VIOLET LAMP

    this is usually used in the detection of counterfeited


    bills
    but can actually be used to detect security features of
    qualified documents.
    INFRARED VIEWER
    primarily used
    to decipher
    writings in a
    charred
    document.
    COMPARISON MICROSCOPE

    similar to that of
    the bullet
    comparison
    microscope
    VIDEO SPECTRAL COMPARATOR (VSC)

    it is used in the examination of


    masked or obliterated text, watermarks, visible
    fluorescence, paper fluorescence
    and oblique illumination of indented writing and
    embossing. It is a comprehensive

    examiners to analyze, compare
    and distinguish between different inks and
    papers, reveal alterations on a
    document, identify obliterated entries, identify
    instances of page substitution, and
    visualize hidden security printing features.
    ELECTROSTATIC DETECTION APPARATUS (ESDA)

    a piece of
    equipment commonly used in questioned document
    examination, to reveal
    indented impressions on paper which may otherwise
    go unnoticed. It is a non-
    destructive technique (will not damage the evidence in
