A light emitted from the light source (4) may be at least partially scattered by the object (2) toward the rod-shaped lenses (6), imaged by means of the rod-shaped lenses (6), and incident on at least a region of the light-sensitive in-line pixel array (7). The photosensitive in-line pixel array (7) may comprise a plurality of one-dimensional in-line pixel arrays (7a, 7b), each extending along the direction transverse to the transport direction (8) of the object (2), arranged parallel to each other and adjacent to each other. Each in-line pixel array (7a, 7b) may comprise a length transverse to the transport direction (8) of the object (2) that completely covers the object (2) to be captured.

A method for testing a valuable document including illuminating the valuable document line by line such that a first group of lines is illuminated with light of a first wavelength and a second group of lines is illuminated with light of a second wavelength, reflection light that is reflected from the lines and/or transmission light that passes through the lines. First data are representative of the reflection light and/or transmission light assigned to the lines of the first group and second data are representative of the reflection light and/or transmission light assigned to the lines of the second group. Further, processing the first data such that a first image generated from the first data has a first resolution, and the second data such that a further image generated from the second data has a second resolution, comparing the first and second images with first and further reference images.
