the Technology?
Capacitance Readers
Zvetco readers use the superior active capacitance sensor technology. This works by the use of a charging cycle to apply a voltage to the skin before measurement takes place. The application of voltage charges the effective capacitor. The electric field between the finger and sensor follows the pattern of the ridges in the dermal skin layer. Active capacitance sensors measure the ridge patterns of the dermal layer like the ultrasonic method. This eliminates the need for clean, undamaged epidermal skin and a clean sensing surface. The result is the most advanced and reliable readers in the market today.The Alternative
The alternative and most common technology for readers is known as optical fingerprint imaging. This involves capturing a digital image of the print using visible light. This type of sensor is, in essence, a specialized digital camera. The top layer of the sensor, where the finger is placed, is known as the touch surface. Beneath this layer is a light-emitting phosphor layer which illuminates the surface of the finger. A scratched or dirty touch surface can cause a bad image of the fingerprint. A disadvantage of this type of sensor is the fact that the imaging capabilities are affected by the quality of skin on the finger.The Zvetco Biometric Fingerprint Range
