L SCAN™  Pro Image 1000T Portable 1000 ppi Livescanner

Third level detail like the shape of fingerprint ridges and sweat pores can be of utmost importance to make an identification. With today’s modern AFIS systems reaching search accuracies of 99 percent and higher, it is in fact up to the fingerprint examiner to eventually determine the correct identity from a list of possible candidates. While 500 ppi fingerprint images are standard and perfectly suited for automatic searching, sorting out candidates based on third level detail requires another level of image contents. Those details become clearly visible with the superb resolution and outstanding image quality of the L SCAN Pro Image 1000T Finger/ID Flats livescanner.
As the latest addition to the well known L SCAN class of professional grade livescanners, this new device combines the rock solid performance, the real time display and the instant quality checks with crystal clear and crisp images.
