About the facility
In this dedicated space, students meticulously examine and authenticate documents, aiming to uncover hidden information, detect forgeries, and contribute to complex investigations. Equipped with advanced tools, we utilize the Video Spectral Comparator (VSC) to examine pen ink, banknotes, driver's licenses, and passports. By studying distinct responses under different light wavelengths, we determine authenticity of various documents. Our Electrostatic Detection Apparatus (ESDA2) non-destructively visualizes indentations on crime scene letters using static charge, providing valuable evidence.
