A multilayer surface comprising at least two layers, said layers having different refractive indexes such that selective wavelengths/colours are transmitted and or reflected. The layers are preferably laid onto a transparent substrate. The surface can be used as an anti-counterfeit device. A method of determining whether an article is counterfeit comprising: providing such a surface; determining its transmission/absorption characteristics of particular colour(s); matching these up with the expected characteristics to determine whether the surface is counterfeit. This may comprise observing the reflected or transmitted colour at two different angles of incidence or detecting changes in the polarisation state of transmitted light. |
