Summary:The invention concerns a scanning image which comprises at least two kinds of scanning elements having different properties and which is produced in a thermotransfer process. It further concerns a thermotransfer foil for the production of a scanning image of that kind, in which the transfer layer which can be transferred from a carrier film onto the substrate, to produce the different scanning elements, has a number, corresponding to the number of different scanning elements, of regions which are respectively associated with a kind of scanning element and which are of correspondingly different natures. Proposed is a scanning image which is produced by a thermotransfer process and which has at least two kinds of scanning elements, wherein at least two kinds of scanning elements are of respectively different dimensions. In addition at least two kinds of scanning elements may respectively involve different, optically effective structures. A thermotransfer foil for the production of such a scanning image is also described.
