Abstract

Device for examination of objects (5), especially banknotes, passports or other security documents has a detection arrangement (1) for detection of one or more properties of the object and for generation of a detector signal (S) corresponding to the detected property. The detector (1) and object move relative to each other in a transport direction (T). The detector extends over at least part of the object and has at least two different extensions (A, B) in the transport direction. An Independent claim is made for a method for examination of objects, especially banknotes, passports or other security documents using a detector with different extensions in the direction in which the examination objects are being transported.
