Pocket UV Tester Holmes 2.0 – UV 254 / 365 / 395 nm

This pocket-sized UV tester is ideal for inspecting fluorescence and phosphorescence on items such as stamps, banknotes, credit cards and other documents. It allows you to check fluorescent security features on banknotes to distinguish originals from counterfeits and to reveal phosphor bands or L-profiles on stamps.

Use with stamps

Stamps contain phosphor to enable automatic sorting in postal systems. The first phosphor stamps were issued in 1959 in Great Britain as a replacement for graphite stamps. Many issues exist with and without phosphor, often with a noticeable difference in value.

Some countries use different methods of applying phosphor, causing it to react under different UV wavelengths. To be absolutely certain, it may be necessary to use both long-wave and short-wave UV light.

For Great Britain, Israel and the United States, inspection with short-wave UV light is essential.
