Also fluorescent substances are very closely adjacent emission compared to the excitation wavelength and those with same emission wavelength can be used advantageously. The presence or The absence of substances of this type can be known from those known per se Determine measuring devices with great accuracy, already using luminescent substances that differ in terms of their luminescent properties Deviate slightly from original fabrics, can be safely determined, above all because the radiation devices used in checking the value documents etc. can be adapted exactly to the substances to be tested.
