For the unrelated piece of technology, please see pattern enhancer.

The molecular pattern enhancer was a facility of Geordi La Forge's VISOR. It permitted objects to be scanned in extremely close detail.

In 2368, when Hannah Bates claimed there was a breach in Genome colony's biosphere, La Forge told her that the VISOR's molecular pattern enhancer would have picked up even the smallest crack, enabling him to literally see through her lie. (TNG: "The Masterpiece Society")
