The Dactyscope PRO workstation provides fingerprint live feed imaging, processing, and comparison. It can be provided with a camera for direct live image to stored image capture or provided purely as a digital to digital software platform. It provides automated calibrated scaled, full annotated casework images with AFIS compatible resolutions ranging 600 – 2000 PPI.
The live camera option features a USB 3 monochromatic CMOS 12Mpx camera with high quality Schneider Kreuznach macro lens with fixed focal length providing excellent image quality without aberrations. This imaging unit is mounted on the column with adjustable position of the camera. The object is illuminated with a pair of LED panels with adjustable light temperature. Image capturing, calibration, processing, annotation, measurements, and comparison are integrated into the LUCIA Forensic software. Software supports newest PC hardware and software as Windows 11 operating system and 4k monitor. The system is compatible with touch screen pen drive operation displays.
There are 2 alternative stages – a stage with free working area and coarse and fine focusing and a stage with a baseboard with grid and coarse focusing only.
DactyScope Software
LUCIA Forensic is state of the art image processing and comparison software including a NIST-file module. The software comprises tools which cover all steps of image calibration, enhancement, documentation of traces, image comparison, and final report preparation. It can be used together with the capture station and provide direct control of camera real-time image, and capturing of images which are automatically calibrated based on the selected working distance.
Alternatively it can also be used separately as comparison station only, with images coming in any standard format including NIST from any source.
Image Processing
The Lucia Forensic software offers a range of image editing features such as rotation, inversion, flip, crop, and contrast adjustment, along with advanced functions like removal of periodic background, color deconvolution, shading correction, HDR image composition, and working with regions of interest. All modifications and applied functions are recorded in the image history, which can be fully exported. The software also supports fully customizable annotations with labels and measurement capabilities, including length, area, and angle, as well as the ability to capture images in full optical resolution. Additionally, it allows for simple insertion of scale bars and image names.
Image Comparison
The software includes side by side comparison that helps to identify and visualize differences or similarities between analyzed fingerprints.
- Live Comparison – with a capturing station, images from files can be compared with real-time camera image.
- Digital Comparison – comparison of two captured images coming from any source, including a NIST file.
The software includes features for easy comparison, such as:
- Auto-adjustment based on image calibration (resolution).
- Align by Points – allows the user to mark significant points on both images and align them accordingly.
- Dual cursor – click shows corresponding point across images.
- Free movement and rotation of one image or both images simultaneously, zooming, lock of mutual position, etc.

Marking Minutiae
Mark minutiae on fingerprints using points that can be automatically converted into numbered points with lines. The appearance of these points is fully customizable to meet user preferences. The software also offers helpful features:
- Automatic generation of minutiae: Choose between the maximal count of points or the minimal quality of points.
- GYRO Coloring: Evaluate and visualize the quality of marked points for enhanced analysis and teamwork.
- Adjust line to AFIS style to achieve compatibility with the AFIS system.

NIST Format Support
Compatibility and Standardization: Our software fully supports the NIST format, ensuring international compatibility and standardization with other systems used in fingerprint identification.
Opening and Saving: It allows you to open and save files in the NIST format, facilitating data exchange between different institutions and systems.
Support for Various Record Types: Our software works with several types of NIST records, including fingerprints, palm prints, facial images, and others.
Of course, it is also possible to generate a fingerprint card from multiple images or NIST file.
