Anti-stokes inks can be easily detected in safety -

Although the instrument generates an invisible infrared laser beam, the header protection and see-through hole allowe the user to work without worries about the laser aimed at his or her eyes inadvertently.             

Infrared laser light excitation is seen as a visible light colour -

Special pigments absorb the energy from laser light until they can emit the visible colour reflection.
