Abstract:
1. A method of identification comprising: measuring a surface structure and an inner structure of a body member so as to obtain a surface-structure measurement result and an inner-structure measurement result, the inner structure of the body member being measured by means of a radiation that traverses the body member so as to obtain a transmission image of the body member; comparing the surface-structure measurement result with a surface-structure reference result that distinguishes an individual from other individuals; comparing the inner-structure measurement result with an inner-structure reference result that is associated with the same individual and that distinguishes the individual from other individuals; applying a further radiation to an object that should normally be the body member so as to obtain a verification image, and comparing the verification image with the transmission image of the body member so as to ascertain that the verification image represents the inner structure of the body member less clearly than the transmission image.
