UCM pia-7000
The Universal Comparison Macroscope for
Forensic Investigations
PROJECTINA UCM - Outstanding
optical performance combined with
excellent ergonomics
Innovations in optical comparison systems have a
long tradition in Projectina. We have developed
and manufactured optical comparison systems for
industrial and forensic science applications for over
30 years.
Working bench with
motorized height
adjustment
The new UCM is a modular system for any side-byside comparison application, e.g. in Ballistics for
comparison of traces on fired ammunition, for tool
marks examination and for document comparison.
The ability to see, inspect and correct images directly
on the monitor and to print them immediately
provides user benefits in terms of economics and
versatility.
The UCM impresses by its ease of operation, compact
and solid design, ergonomic and user-friendly
position of controls.
Only Projectina precision optical components
are incorporated in the UCM, offering a unique
magnification range from 1.5x to 135x
with the following operation modes:

simplicity in use, no need of basic adjustments and therefore rapid set-up and review of examined cases
1:1 magnification provides original replication of objects with constant long working distance of 215 mm
high quality optical system with magnification range up to 135x and large field of view of 150 mm
100% correct, stationary built-in objectives, without magnification alignment
motorized height adjustment up to 190 mm

Modular, Versatile and
Expandable System
The UCM convinces by its excellent stability,
ergonomic design and an ingenious object
holder system for a wide variety of objects, such
as bullets, cartridge cases, projectiles, tools,
pump gun- and hunting gun ammunition,
lock cylinders, deformed bullets, tool marks in
Microsil, etc. The new object holder includes
brushes and plasticine holders for various
diameters for all kinds of bullets and cartridge
cases.

The clear presentation of fine structures and minute traces,
without any disturbing reflections requires a sophisticated
illumination concept. The multiple tasks due to variety of
objects, their shapes and sizes, their surfaces and structures,
can only be met by a flexible and comprehensive choice of
illumination systems.
8 modular light sources allow examination in inclined and
coaxial surface light, transmitted light as well as UV light,
365 nm, in surface and transmitted light (particularly used
in document examination). For special object comparisons,
fibre optics light sources are very useful. Thanks to a
modular design, light sources and accessories can be
retrofitted at any time. Special accessories, like surface light
mirrors, diffusers or polarisation sets complete the unique
range of illuminations.

Documentation, Measuring and Archiving with the sophisticated
PIA-7000 Software with Remote Control
Projectina provides a wide range
of camera systems for demanding
application fields. Live Digital cameras
with resolution of 5.0 to 3.3 Mega
pixel or a SLR digital camera together
with the new PIA-7000 software offer
custom-specific solutions.
With the Projectina digital camera
in combination with the high
sophisticated PIA-7000 Software, the
UCM becomes even more efficient.
The net-work compatible PIA-7000
is the perfect complement for realtime comparisons, measuring, image
analysis, image enhancement,
documentation, archiving of
comparison samples, creation of
reports, etc.
Basic features are:
• measuring functions: length, parallel, circles, areas, angles, rectangular, ellipses, etc.
• fade-in of reference scale, concentric circles and grid
• mirror function, horizontal and vertical
• step less rotation 0° - 360°
• side-by-side comparison of live and stored images, horizontal and vertical split, adjustable dividing line
• superposition of live and stored images
• Superposition in transparency positive/
negative
• complementary colours (red/green)
• chopper function (alternating image display)
• binary functions
• magnify window function
• brightness control, contrast enhancement and chroma adjustment
