Device appearance		Purpose, function
POISC - U (universal)	Designed to scan the side surfaces of bullets and cartridge cases and the bottoms of cartridge cases.	Special criminalistic products for forensic examination, creation of databases of the objects (bullets or cartridge cases), execution of a search in automatic or manual modes.
POISC - B (for bullets)	Designed to scan the side surfaces and the bases of bullets.
POISC - C (for cartridge cases)	Designed to scan the bottoms of cartridge cases.

Function:

The Ballistic Identification System (BIS) "POISC" is intended for recording digital images of spent bullets and cartridge-cases of firearms, storing obtained images in the databases and effective carrying out of ballistics examination.

Features:

record, process and store high-contrast digital images of the full surface evolvement (or fragments) of side surface of bullets, including deformed ones, with any kind of covering, as well as images of butt-end and side surface of cartridge-cases;
view the object in “telemicroscope” mode, carry out manual and auto-focusing, change the direction and intensity of lighting;
carry out a ballistic examination of the object in “manual” mode by method of mark alignment (overlay) using previously saved images recalled from the database;
carry out an automatic search among images stored in the database and make up a list of the most similar objects for the expert to make the final decision;
print out images in various versions;
create regional repositories of spent bullets and cartridge-cases images with accompanying service information and unite them into an integrated information network.
