A multi-spectral Ultraviolet (UV) illuminator is described. The illuminator allows for the convenient reading of authentication patterns formed by UV inks. The novel illuminator is usable with inks of different spectral responses, allowing for reading many types of patterns with one device. The illuminator further provides the capability of producing multiple UV frequency illumination sequences, allowing for more complex, harder-to-counterfeit, authentication markings, such as animated patterning.
