UniScope is a motorized 3D scanning system with multispectral illumination. It consists of an imaging device designed for forensic examination of a wide range of traces — from fingerprints and handwriting to documents and tool marks — and full-featured software for image acquisition, processing, comparison, archiving, and report creation.

Applications and capabilities

UniScope is a versatile system suitable for forensic examination of:

Handwriting

RGB imaging, imaging with oblique illumination and IR illumination.

Fingerprints

Direct imaging of fingerprints on object surfaces, treated with fluorescent powders and dyes, or lifted using foils.

Documents

RGB Imaging, UV fluorescence.

Large objects

The system can accommodate large objects such as documents in binders, beverage containers with fingerprints, and more.

Toolmarks

3D imaging of toolmarks.

Image processing 
The LUCIA Forensic software offers a range of image editing features including rotation, inversion, flipping, cropping, and contrast adjustment, along with advanced functions such as periodic background removal, color deconvolution, shading correction, HDR image composition, and support for regions of interest.

The software also supports annotations with labels and measurement tools, including length, area, and angle. Additionally, it allows for easy insertion of scale bars and image names.

Image Comparison 
A set of comparison modes helps identify and visualize differences and similarities between analyzed samples. Available modes include transparency, side-by-side, split-line, tiled, and others. The software also features an image manager for easy handling of multiple open images.
