Comparisons of small surfaces or profiles need to be performed with sufficient precision, if the objects of comparison can be observed simulta- neously.
If only a macroscope with just one image beam input is available for such comparisons, then, depending on the interruption of observation by a change of objective, high demands are made on the memory of the observer. Therefore, it is impossible to rule out incorrect interpretation in the case of objects with very minor differences in the surface or profile.
The Leica FS C (Forensic Solution Comparison) Macroscope with two image beam inputs is de- signed for comparing structures of items such as those listed below in split images and com- posite images in forensic laboratories, docu- ment printing facilities, mints and banks, and documenting the results on photographs and videos:
–Evidence on fired ammunition pieces
–Toolmarks
–Manufacturing traces on adhesive tape
–Playback traces on magnetic tape
–Documents
–Writing samples
–Banknotes
–Stamps
–Coins
–etc.
Illumination equipment are available for incident light (including UV light) and transmitted light.
