What Makes the Regula 4306M the Perfect Choice for Your Laboratory

 

Custom high resolution camera: The device features an 8 MP camera for exceptional clarity, captures images at up to 18,900 ppi, and offers 60x optical zoom for detailed analysis of microscopic features.

Advanced Illumination: The device includes a newly developed multifunctional coaxial light that visualizes embossing, retroreflective security features, and polycarbonate reliefs, along with an enhanced diffused white light source that enables the visualization of DID security elements and OVD effects.

Unmatched Anti-Stokes Visualization: The Regula 4306 offers advanced anti-Stokes imaging capabilities with long exposure, enabling the detection of luminescence details that were previously invisible to standard methods. This feature is particularly effective for examining advanced security elements and materials, providing forensic experts with a deeper insight into document authenticity.

Extensive Light and Filter Options: Comparator features over 40 LED-based light sources and 20+ filters, ensuring versatility in examination tasks, while the LED technology eliminates maintenance needs, enhancing both durability and usability.

3D visualization 3D visualization is a cutting-edge technique used to examine the surface relief and intersecting lines of documents. By creating a detailed three-dimensional model, this method allows experts to study the texture, depth, and structural features of surfaces with high precision.

Hyperspectral imaging Utilizes narrowband illumination and captures reflected signal intensity across the 395–1000 nm range, with user-defined step sizes (from 1 nm). The collected data is processed to generate graphs that provide insights into the object’s properties. This cutting-edge technology allows experts to uncover document modifications, and recover faded or obscured text.

Adjustable oblique lights Height-adjustable oblique light sources ease the process of examination of document relief and security features. After manual adjustment of the light source, the program automatically calculates and shows the angle in the program’s interface.

Large Objects Examination The removable side flaps and object stage accommodate oversized items, expanding the field of view to 296 x 222 mm. Despite device’s compact size, this design allows you to examine large objects, such as thick financial accounting books, artworks, and other bulky items, without compromising on precision or image quality.

Description

The Regula 4306M is a modern video spectral comparator that offers affordable, high-quality solutions for forensic examination. Perfect for police, border control, and forensic labs of any size, it combines advanced technology with easy operation to deliver fast and accurate results.
By focusing on efficiency, innovation, and cost-saving, the Regula 4306M is the top choice for experts worldwide.

Trinocular Stereo Microscope

The microscope uses the Greenough optical system for stereo imaging and adjustable optical magnification up to 420x. It provides different white light options with intensity control and allows for operational mode, focus, and magnification adjustments directly on the device.

The microscope is based on the Greenough optical system, which can obtain stereo images of examined objects. Such an optical system allows smooth magnification adjustment. It can be equipped with different complexes of white light with variable intensity control: ring, transmitted and direct (gooseneck). Switching the modes of operation, focusing and changing the magnification is performed using the controls on the device body.

 

Regula 5003 can display a zoomed image of the investigated object on the display using Regula Forensic Studio software. The microscope makes it possible to perform additional visual control using eyepieces with 10x or 30x magnification producing on screen magnification from 26x to 1330x

 

Morphing Detector

Regula 4166 detects morphing in document photos by revealing surface-level artifacts like paint droplets—ideal for quick checks and expert forensic analysis.

Passport photo morphing—the blending of two facial images into one—is an emerging security risk with global implications. Fraudsters exploit this technique to create a single photo that resembles multiple people, allowing unauthorized individuals to cross borders using forged or manipulated travel documents. As border control agencies and forensic labs face increasing pressure to prevent such deception, accurate detection tools are essential.

Thermostage

The helpful add-on for examination of images, travel documents and banknote fragments that contain thermochromic ink at different temperatures.  Variable temperature range from +30 to +80 ˚С with a step of 1 ˚С

Magneto-Optical Visualizer

Non-destructive examinations in real-time video mode. The device visualizes hard and soft magnetic materials, reads hidden magnetic marks, checks damaged documents, and evaluates magnetic parameters for security features and more.

Regula 4197 is designed for carrying out non-destructive examinations of objects with magnetic properties in live video mode.

 

The wide functionality of the device includes visualization of magnetically hard and soft materials, the ability to distinguish different types of magnetic materials by residual magnetization, reading of latent magnetic strokes and codes, examination of damaged documents, e.g., reading of blurred and crossed-out texts printed with magnetic ink, assessment of magnetic parameters for document security features, e.g., distribution of magnetic induction and magnetic flux modulus.

 

The device’s power supply, control, displaying and processing of examination results are managed via a PC and special CADR software.

 

Tilting stage

In forensics, a change of perspective is sometimes critical. This tilting stage works best for such cases! It can also be used for the examination of widespread security features of banknotes and travel documents that are visualized at different lighting and observation angles, for example, OVI, DYNAPRINT®, FUSE-ID, and others.

Polarizer

This optical filter changes the angle of polarization for a thorough examination of items containing invisible components, for instance, product liability and protected geographical indication labels on medicines, drinks, and other products.

Mirrors for Document Edge and OVI Examination

This set of compact mirrors is designed to assist in document authentication. One mirror is specifically for examining the document edge, allowing for a detailed look at the serial number and the passport stitch line. The other mirror is intended for observing the OVI (Optically Variable Ink) features.
