Abstract
In order to identify a marking which is arranged on a body and contains a marking substance with a specific property, the marking initially is scanned by use of radiation. The marking substance is then brought into contact with a detector substance having a specific property corresponding to the marking substance. A combination of the marking and detector substances which results because of the corresponding specific properties, exhibits fluorescent behavior. The marking is then scanned by use of the radiation in a second measurement, and identified by based upon the results of the two measurements.

A method for identifying a marking which is arranged on a body and contains a marking substance with a specific property, comprising:
- scanning the marking by use of radiation in a first measurement and determining a reference therefrom;
- bringing the marking substance into contact with a detector substance having a specific property corresponding to the marking substance, so that a combination of the marking and detector substances exhibits fluorescent behavior;
- scanning the marking by use of the radiation in a second measurement;
- and
- identifying the marking by using the reference and a result of the second measurement, and wherein
- scanning the marking by use of radiation in a first measurement, bringing the marking substance into contact with a detector substance, and scanning the marking by use of the radiation in a second measurement is carried out in chronological succession.
