UV Light Source: The primary feature is the ultraviolet light housed in the top hood, which illuminates hidden fluorescent markings, watermarks, and security fibers on currency.
Built-in Magnifier: Many models of this type include an integrated magnifying lens (the circular section visible on the base) to allow the user to closely inspect fine micro-printing on documents.
Compact Design: Its simple, open-base design allows for quick placement and removal of bills or cards, making it ideal for point-of-sale use at checkout counters or reception desks.
Simple Operation: It features a straightforward power switch, typically located on the top of the hood, for immediate activation of the UV light.
