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

Custom High-Res 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.

Highlighted Software Features

Regula 4306M is operated by Regula Forensic Studio (RFS) software, which allows for obtaining and processing images and generating forensic reports.

Native integration with Information Reference System

A seamless integration with the Regula Information Reference System - a comprehensive reference database containing over 337,000 images of identity documents, banknotes, and security features—allows for a detailed comparison between the examined object and its reference.

Automated document verification in seconds

Advanced authenticity verification—including textual data validation, format assessment, and meticulous optical analysis under various light sources —streamline the authentication process. Additional validation of luminescent text against the machine-readable zone (MRZ), barcode, and visual zone information, along with document pattern analysis under UV and IR light, ensures the authentication of numerous security features, confirming the ID's legitimacy.

Biometric facial identification

To reveal sophisticated fraudulent alterations in identity documents, the software matches the photo in the visual inspection zone with the one stored in the RFID chip and barcode or photo captured by external camera.

Scenarios for performing repetitive tasks

Built-in features for creating macros streamline the examination process by setting the sequence of actions for automating repetitive checks using lighting and filtering techniques.

Multilingual user-friendly interface

A user-friendly interface with all essential controls and settings readily accessible supports multiple languages, including English, Chinese, Spanish, Hindi, and more

HDR for excellent imaging

High dynamic range (HDR) enables adjusting multiple exposure levels when capturing images of the same object. This helps produce sharper, more detailed, and higher-contrast images or videos, particularly under UV illumination, ensuring that even the finest details are revealed during examination.

Super resolution images

When an ultra-detailed image is required for examination, the device captures a series of photos and seamlessly merges them into a final image that showcases every intricate detail.

Cross-platform support

Regula 4306M is compatible with and can be operated on all major platforms, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Multifocus for shaped objects

To obtain high-quality images of three-dimensional objects with intricate shapes, the device captures a series of shots while dynamically adjusting the focus.
