The scanner outperforms comparable commercial devices by more than twice the resolution. This tremendous image resolution enables zoom views that reveal even the smallest security features, making it possible to draw immediate conclusion about the ID’s authenticity. Manipulations and forgeries are easy to identify based on these details.
