Abstract (en)

[origin: US5280333A] In an apparatus for testing documents, the optical illuminating unit comprises at least one light guide provided with fluorescent substance for directing at least two light fractions of different wavelengths onto a common area of the document. The light fractions are switched on and off by the time-division multiplex method. Special switching regulators are provided for regulating not only the switch-on and switch-off operation of the illumination sources but also the brightness thereof.
