Keywords: LP/luminescence/skin
Abstract: A review of the reported methods for the recovery
of fingerprints from the skin of crime victims along with the
efficacy of those methods is presented. The fundamental problems of
retrieval of latent fingerprints form the skin are discussed
together with the methods reported in the literature, which include
electronography, iron powder-Dakty foil, iodine-silver plate
transfer, Kromekote lift, and laser detection, along with several
less frequently used techniques. The limited successes achieved with
these reported methods during actual casework are discussed; they
are limited because they are often found to refer only to idealized
research conditions. At present, the use of high-powered light
sources such as lasers seems to be the only technique that may be
useful for revealing fingerprints on skin when investigating a case.

Abstract: In an attempt to design new reagents for the
chemical development of altent fingerprints, a number of ninhydrin
analogues were synthesized and their reactions with latent
fingerprints on paper were studied. The ring-fused and substituted
ninhydrins developed latent fingerprints with a sensitivity similar
to that of ninhydrin. The most promising of the group was
2.2-dihydroxybenz[f]indanc-1.3-dionc, which developed latent
fingerprints as dark green images with excellent resolution.

Abstract: Latent fingerprints on various items were developed
by exposed them to fumes obtained by heating the solid polymer,
polycyanoacrylate. The results were comparable in quality to those
obtained by the regular Super Glue technique, based on the liquid
cyanoacrylate monomer which is harder to handle. Without heating,
the development process required much longer periods of time. Two
simple devices have been constructed that use the new technique.

Abstract: Five 7-nitro-4-benzofurazanyl ethers have been
prepared and examined as potential fluorigenic reagents for latent
fingerprints on paper. All developed latent fingerprints with high
sensitivity, similar to that of the parent compound
4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-chloride). Although development in
solution is faster, vapor phase development is also possible, and it
has certain advantages such as the avoidance of the use of solvents
and the smaller background fluorescence and discoloration.

exhibits excellent properties as a developer of latent fingerprints
on paper. While visible development closely resembles that achieved
with ninhydrin, fluorescence after zinc chloride, treatment is
considerably stronger than that of ninhydrin developed prints,
particularly when excited by the green line of the copper-vapor
laser.

Abstract: A study of 100 MZ (55 female and 45 male) and 97 DZ

analyse the genetic component of the vaiance of the a-b, b-c and c-d
interdigital ridge counts by means of the Christian method.
Especially for the a-b interdigital ridge count, we found it
important to analyse both sexes separately. Our results suggest that
the a-b count in males seems to be more influenced by environmental
factors than the other counts. For females, the three interdigital
counts seem to have a strong genetic component influencing their
phenotypic expression. Factor analysis with VARIMAX rotation showed
each interdigital ridge count be genetically independent.

Abstract: Ridgeology is an evaluative method of friction
ridge identification based on scientific principles and procedures,
principles, and procedures that have been established and verified
through years of research. The term "ridgeology" refers to a
forensic identification science that is associated with all of the
ridges on the volar areas and not just on the finger tips as
dactyloscopy or fingerprint identification implies. Ridgeology is
not only more encompassing than dactyloscopy, but has methodologies
and philosphies consistent with other forensic disciplines. (Quoted

evaluated as to their significance in the spectrum of clarity,
incipient ridges can be a vital factor in determining individuality.

Abstract: The use of cyanoacrylate ester adhesives in the
development of latent fingerprints in the crime lab has proven to be
a highly efficient and simple way to process fingerprints as
evidence in criminal cases. The mechanism is an anionic
polymerization of alkyl 2-cyanoacrylate ester initiated by the weak
bases such as water and amines present in the latent fingerprint
residue. Various methods have been developed to accelerate the
process of developing latent fingerprints with cyanoacrylate fumes.
These methods require some caution on the part of the examiner due
to the possibility of toxic fumes being produced by subjecting the
cyanoacrylate to extreme conditions.

objective, including simulation by free-hand imitation, tracing,
electrostatic reproduction of a geniune signature, and computer

tell-tale signs for the alert document examiner to notice. This
paper will explain the mechanics involved and thier indicators.

Abstract: Fingerprint development techniques that use
blue-green laser light suffer from high background fluorescence on
substrates such as cardboard, wookd, leather, and some metals and
plastics. These substrates tend to exhibit little or no fluorescence
under ultraviolet light, prompting us to search for procedures that
yield visible fluorescence under this illumination. Specifically,
chemcial development with dansyl chloride and vapor staining with
9-methylanthracene were found to be useful when dealing with these
substrates. Fluorescence excitation was possible either with an
ultraviolet lamp or argon-ion laser operating in the ultraviolet.
Coumarin 535 vapor staining following 9-methylanthracene staining
was also found effective.

show bright yellow fluorescence against dark background under
ultraviolet (UV) map (long wavelength) illumination. The advantage
of this method are its rapid reaction, no heat needed, high
sensitivity, no unpleasant odor, simplicity, and convenience in
processing.

Abstract: Occasionally, crumpled adhesive tape strips are
encountered in criminal cases involving rape, murder, kidnapping and
explosives (bombing). Such tape is usually submitted to a crime
laboratory for the detection of latent prints, to establish a
physical match with other strips or rolls of tape, or to be examined
for associative evidence, such as hair, fibers, or paint, which may
be adhering to the tape surfaces. To achieve these objectives, it is
often necessary to unravel the tape without affecting the potential
latent prints which may be present on the adhesive or nonadhesive
surfaces. This paper describes a new technique using a solvent
consisting of a blend of aliphatic and halogenated hydrocarbons, to
unravel tangled tape which, unlike existing freezing or heating
methods, minimizes disturbance of latent prints. This procedure was
used on various types of commercially available adhesive tapes
bearing latent prints, which were subsequently detected by crystal
violet, cyanoacrylate fuming, and fluorescent dye stain development
procedures. This simple technique proved to be very convenient and
successful in unraveling various types of adhesive tapes for the
detection of latent prints and possible recovery of trace evidence.

Abstract: The tandem scanning reflected light microscope
invented by Petran and Hadravsky provides real-time vision in the
confocal mode. It performs nondestructive optical sectioning of
biological material to a depth that depends on the transparency of
the tissue. This real-time facility adds a fourth dimension (time)
to the study of living specimens. In the present work, human skin
was explored in vivo, at the cellular level to a depth of 150
microns. Two different anatomical sites were investigated: the back
of the hand and the volar aspect of the forearm. The stratification
of the horny layers, the nuclei of the living keratinocytes through
the whole epidermis and the capillary loops within the superficial
dermis constituted clear reference points. These permitted thickness
measurements of the stratum corneum and epidermis to an accuracy of
1 microns. This method of exploration provides a new challenge for
dermatologists and cosmetologists.

Abstract: In order to determine if accidental contact with
blood could visualize pre-existing latent print residue which would
appear to be blood prints, impressions consisting sebaceous
secretions, eccrine sweat, and grease were deposited onto a painted
metal surface. As a visual aid, one each of the impressions was
dusted with black powder. Each particular type of deposit was placed
into thre groups and allowed to set for one hour prior to three
different applicaitons of human blood. A duplicate set of each group
was allowed to stand for a twenty-four hour period before contact
with blood. After the blood application, each impression was
examined to document any visual development of ridge structure in
the non-powdered impressions. The powdered impressions were examined
for any increase or decrease in development or contrast by the human
blood contact.

Abstract: Differences in the dynamic skin friction
coefficients (mu) were investigated with respect to age, sex, and
anatomical region. A total of 29 volunteers consisting of seven
young females, seven old females, seven young males, and eight old
males participated in the study. Measurements were obtained from II
anatomical regions, namely, the forehead, upper arm, volar and
dorsal forearm, postauricular, palm, abdomen, upper and lower back,
thigh, and ankle. The friction data were compared with stratum
corneum hydration and transepidermal water loss (TEWL). The dynamic
friction coefficient did not vary significantly between age and sex
groups but varied considerably among the anatomical regions of the
body. The forehead and postauricular had the highest mu (0.34 +/-
0.02) while the abdomen had the lowest (0.12 +/- 0.01); the
remaining regions had an average mu value of 0.21 +/- 0.01.
Similarly, no sex differences were observed for TEWL and stratum
corneum hydration. Capacitance was only significantly lower on the
palms of the elderly. Regional differences showed a higher state of
hydration on the forehead and postauricular as well as the upper
arm, upper and lower back when compared with the
volar forearm. TEWL was generally lower in the elderly on all
anatomical regions except the postauricular and palm. A significant
correlation was established between mu and capacitance for most
regions. Between mu and TEWL significant correlation was observed
only on the palm and thigh. These findings suggest that frictional
properties of skin are dependent on more than water content or
non-apparent sweating and the role of sebum secretion is suggested
as one possible factor.

Abstract: Differences in the skin surface lipid content (SSL)
and the dynamic friction coefficient (mu) were investigated with
respect to age, sex, and anatomical region in 29 volunteers. The
group consisted of (a) 7 young adult females (24.9 +/- 1.1 years
old, mean +/- SD), (b) 7 old females (75.3 +/- 2.4 years old), (c) 7
young adult males (28.7 +/- 0.5 years old), and (d) 8 old males
(73.8 +/- 1.9 years old). Measurements were obtained on 11
anatomical regions, namely, the forehead, upper arm, volar and
dorsal forearm, postauricular, palm, abdomen, upper and lower back,
thigh, and ankle. Skin surface lipid content data were compared with
mu measurements to determine the relative contribution of the former
to frictional properties of skin. mu and SSL were not statistically
different between age groups on all regions except for the ankle,
where lipid content was lower in the elderly. Similarly, mu did not
vary between sex groups. Skin surface lipid content was
statistically lower on the forehead, dorsal forearm and
postauricular area in females. Both parameters, however, showed
considerable regional variability. A significant linear correlation
was established between mu and SSL combining all regions from all
volunteers. When mu was plotted against SSL among individual
anatomic sites, only the forehead and postauricular area showed
significant linear correlations between the two parameters. These
data suggest that surface lipid content plays a limited role in
frictional properties of skin.

Abstract: Forensic science is the application of the natural
sciences to matters of the law; it includes a variety of different
activities and specialities. In practice, forensic science draws
upon the principles and methods of all the traditional sciences,
such as physics, chemistry, and biology. At the same time, there are
differences between forensic science and traditional sciences. The
differences are attributable in part to the fact that forensic
science has some unique objectives, and in part to its continuous
and necessary interaction with the legal system. (Author's

Abstract: The use of stones to break glass at the time of a
burglary or to injure a person at the time of an attack, is a
frequent occurence. Until recently, the French police did not search
for fingerprints on this type of surface. Therefore, possible
methods for development of latent fingerprints on stones appeared to
be an interesting subject for exploration.

Abstract: Lyophylized Sigma Type III trypsin has been applied
to latent prints two weeks to two months old. This trypsin
preparation eliminates the background problems that had been
encountered with old prints in a previous study. Zinc chloride
treatment of latent prints previously exposed to ninhydrin enhances
their detectability upon laser examination. However, it has been
reported that the zinc chloride reaction occasionally fails to
occur. Accordingly, we have investigated the optimization of this
reaction. We find that high humidity and elevated temperature,
particularly the former, are needed. Cadmium nitrate, although it
produces weaker fluorescence than zinc chloride, may at times be
useful. Reaction conditions are much the same as those for zinc
chloride. (Published abstract)

Abstract: The fingerprint service of England and Wales works
to the requirement that a fingerprint identification should be based
on at least 16 points of comparison before evidence may be given in
court. In 1988-89 the authors carried out a review of the need for
this requirement. The review included: visits to bureaus in the U.K.
and in various other countries; a study of the statistical apsects
of fingeprint identification; a historical review; and a
collaborative study in which fingerprint experts from many different
bureaus at home and abroad examined ten sets of comparisons. This
paper describes the conduct of the review and its conclusions.

Abstract: Forensic scientists in their roles as expert

about their ability to act responsibly in the criminal justice

professional autonomy, forensic scientists must find ways to
increase their control over their work and to convince other key
actors in the criminal justice system of the importance of doing so.

Abstract: As the use of high-technology electronic equipment
to supplement latent print detection continues to increase, so does
the complexity of monitoring new advances and planning for
worthwhile technology upgrades. This paper is a limited attempt to
collate current Electronic Latent Print Detection (ELPD) activities
and equipment sources, and to provide an abbreviated glossary to
assist in sifting through technical data. Brief discussions of
current usages and new developments are followed herein by a
glossary, and source addresses.

Abstract: Expert testimony plays a critical role in criminal
ligitation. The legal system has developed both evidentiary and
procedural rules to govern the use of experts. The rule of evidence
specify the conditions under which expert testimony may be admitted
at trial and thus considered by the trier of fact. The rules of
procedure cover related issues, such as pretrial discovery of
scientific reports and the appointment of defense experts. This
article explains and critiques these legal rules. The concluding
section recommends ways in which these rules can be improved.

Abstract: As in any applied science, the identification
process for fingerprint examinations must be practiced before
proficiency can be attained. Organized structured training and
proper supervision can provide a strong foundation that paves an
avenue for application. Quality standards for all phases of the
identification process can be professionally established and
enforced. The effectiveness of the application will be determined by
examiner attitude and approach. In an atmosphere of understanding
and objectivity, the ultimate goal of the identifiction process may
not be met always, but the results will be far more consistent,
impartial, and meaningful. (Quoted from summary)

Abstract: A small particle suspension of iron oxide black
(Fe3O4) powder has been formulated for developing latent
fingerprints on smooth surfaces. This new reagent was compared with
the reported reagents known as small particle reagent (SPR) or
molybdenum disulfide in suspension, and was foundt to be superior
with regard to sensitivity, clarity and contrast. Excellent results
wer obtained on dry, wet or frost-covered smooth surfaces
irrespective of whether the latent fingerprints were new or old.
The developed black fingerprints are cleared very easily by washing
with soap and water. The method was tested on speciment fingerprints
taken from thirty donors. Scanning electron microscopic studies were
performed on several powders to determine the particle size and to
correlate it with the behaviour of small particle supsensions
prepared from these powders. (Published abstract)

Abstract: The detection of latent fingerprints on human skin
has been the subject of several research projects over the last 25
years, and fingerprint specialists have recently shown a renewed
interest this procedure. In this study, several new techniques
suggested in the literature were applied to the detection of prints
deposited on 16 live subjects and cadavers (16 of which had not been
placed in the cold room before the experiments). Form the results
obtained in this study as well as related commetns in the
literature, casework experience, and current forensic practices, an
inventory was established of the factors influencing the detection
of fingerprints on skin. Fingerprint detection sequences on skin
were subsequently developed.

Notes: Fingerprint (dermatoglyphes) consist of patterns
formed by parallel ridges on bare skin of fingertips. They are
typical for higher primates, but occur sporadically in other mamals.
We have recently observed the presence of dermatoglyphes,
microscopically and macroscopically similar to those of humans on
the fingers and toes of teh tree-climbing marsupial Phascolarctus
cinereus. Presence of nearly identical dermatoglyphes in
lineages of mammals undergoing separate evolution for at least 70
million years, but adapting to climbing and grasping, indicates that
adaptive regularities may be a common feature of the evolutionary
process. (Published abstract)

Abstract: The expert on either side is either right,
partially right, wrong, or wrong and dishonest. Even strongly
opposed testimony is not evidence of dishonesty, although it is
clear at least one expert is wrong. Some differences are the result
of legitimate differences of opinion. However, the author has
identified several categories of testimony that show dishonest
intent. It is clear that the growth of financial incentives has
increased the number of cases in which there are opposing experts.
If some kind of corrective action is not taken, expert witnesses
will no longer be an effective force in the legal system. A multi
disciplinary testimony review board separate from the ethics
function is clearly one answer to the problem. (Published abstract)

Abstract: Periphery cameras have been used for many years to
record cylindrical objects as flat planes. The commercially
available instruments are bulky and fairly difficult to use and
their use in forensic sciences has been limited.
Modern technology has been used to develop a camera that is more
suited to forensic requirements. The use of microprocessor control
has simplified its use and the instrument described has been used
successfully to record the laser excited flourescence of latent
fingerprints.

Abstract: Comprehensive trials have established that latent
fingerprints can be rendered partially or totally unidentifiable
during print development by the following:
a) ridge smearing, which depends on the type and age of the latent
print and also on the type of brush and brushing procedures used,
and
b) overpowdering and/or overbrushing of the print.
These causes of pattern obscuration are discussed in terms of their
implications for fingerprint development procedures, since up to 10%
of prints developed at crime scenes can be difficult or even
impossible to identify. (Published abstract)

Abstract: A method for developing latent fingerprints on
various problem surfaces has been in demand for many years. Super
Glue fuming has met this challenge in resolving many of the
frustrations of the latent fingerprint examiner. However, time is a
factor that cannot be ignored and therefore this method is presented
to minimize the time element between the introduction of the Super
Glue in the fuming chamber and the actual development of the latent
prints. Fuming is increased in a shortened period of time through
the chemical reaction known as polymerization. The latent
development time lapse is minimized to approximately 1h or less as
opposed to several hours to several days described in the
nonacclerant method. (Published abstract)

of gestational age, to observe the morphological features of the
hand and foot, as well as the period and location of the appearance
of the flexion creases. We found that most creases develop
concurrently with the appearance of the fetal volar pads and the
rest develop independently of them. Furthermore, with some
exceptions, the creases seem to develop independently of the flexion
movements of hand and foot. (Published abstract)

Abstract: A study of the embryological development and

human fetuses, at 6-20 weeks of gestational age, and 225 normal
adults, aged 19-81 years, to observe the morphology and the timing

that is, the regular, extra, and oblique creases, were found to
develop concurrently with the appearnacd of the fetal volar pads,
apparently independently of the thumb flexion movements. Although
the regular creases usually appear to be simple, single creases,
they seem to be formed by the radial and ulnar lateral crease
segments that develop inward from each lateral side. Our
observations also suggest that the oblique and extra creases on the
proximal phalanz of the thumb should be considered as common or
"regular" creases, rather thananomalies, because of their high
frequency in fetuses and in normal healthy adults. (Published

Abstract: The embryological development and morphology of
digital flexion creases were studied in 178 human embryos and
fetuses 6-20 weeks of gestational age. The results suggest the
existence of two types of digital flexion creases, that differ from
each other in their development. The regular creases, with the
exception of the distal crease of the proximal interphalangeal
creases, and the oblique and extra creases of the irregular creases,
develop concurrently with the appearance of the digital pads by
about 11 weeks of gestation. The remaining creases, i.e., the distal
crease of the proximal interphalangeal creases and the accessory
crease develop later unrelated to the pads but, apparently,
secondary to the flexion movements of the hand. Our observations
further suggest that, because of their high frequencies, the oblique
creases on the ulnar side of digits I and II andon the radial side
of digit V and the extra creases on the proximal phalanx of digits
I, III, and IV should be considered as "regular" creases.
Previously unreported pads were also found on the middle phalanges
at about 11 weeks of gestation. Unlike the single, large pads with
high evaluation, typically found on the distal phalanges, thoseon
the middle phalanges are multiple, small, and only slightly
elevated. This observation provides further support to the concept
of the relationship between the fetal digital pads and the
development of the epidermal ridge patterns. (Published abstract)

Keywords: genetics/dermatoglyphics
Abstract: Scientific interest in the palmar, plantar, and
digital flexion creases has been related mainly to their aberrations
in numerous congenital malformations and other medical disorders.
Understanding of crease embryonal development is a prerequisite to
the estimation of their potential significance in medical practice.
While the timing of development of the flexion creases has now been
established, their origin is less well understood. Both primary
genetic determination and development secondary to flexion function
have been suggested as the mechanisms underlying the crease
development. The evidence offered has been mostly indirect, related
to the timing of the onset of the fetal hand movement and the crease
aberrations in malformed hands and fingers. More detailed studies,
preferably including experimental designs in nonhuman fetuses, will
be necessary to resolve the question of the origin of the flexion
creases. In the meantime, it seems reasonable to assume that the
flexion creases develop under genetic influences, in close
morphologic relationship to the fetal volar pads. Early genetic and
environmental factors causing hand malformations and alterations of
the form or function of the hand, and occurring prior to the fetal
crease development, may affect the developing flexion creases. The
close correspondence between the appearance of the flexion creases
and hand and digital movement (which, in turn, is associated with
joint formation and muscular function) suggests that the same
earlier factors are responsible for both crease development and
flexion movement.

Abstract: Increased fingerprint ridge detail can be produced

treatment. This involves conversion of the ninhydrin print into a
luminescent metal complex by treatment with zinc chloride where even
weak ninhydrin prints yield ridge detail which can be readily
photographed. Several technical advances are offered in the present
report which make it attractive to a range of fingerprint
departments: (1) the treatment need not be carried out until normal
ninhydrin (NFN) evaluation has been made; (2) the method does not
require especially expensive equipment; (3) the luminescence is
produced using a xenon arc lamp following cooling of the document
print to liquid nitrogen temperatures; (4) a laser light source is
not required; (5) prints can be recorded using normal photographic
equipment; and (6) the method has been applied to casework studies.

Abstract: The skin is a complex organ containing cells of
different developmental origin. The epidermis evolves from a single
ectodermal layer, while the dermis develops from the mesoderm. In
the beginning of the second month of gestation the epithelium
becomes bilaminar with the development of a periderm that covers the
solitary layer of ecotodermal cells. Through the subsequent
development of the skin the epidermal-dermal interaction induces the
formation of hair follicles, eccrine sweat glands, sebaceous sweat
glands, and apocrime sweat glands. In addition to the keratinocyte,
the mature epidermis is composed of melanocytes, Merkel's cells, and
Langerhans' cells. This chapter will review the current state of
knowledge of skin morphogenesis and the development of the
individual celss within the epidermis. (Abstract quoted from text)

Abstract: Dried bloodstains on cotton cloth were subjected to

laboratory for serological examination. The effects of these
chemicals and materials on species determination, ABH antigen and
isoenzyme typing, and DNA analysis were studied. A number of
treatments had detrimental or destructive effects on subsequent
serological testing. It is suggested that direct application of
these potentially harmful chemicals and reagents to dried bloodstain
evidence be avoided. If crime scene and laboratory personnel are
aware of the the potential problems, no difficulty should be
encountered in obtaining both serological results and fingerprint
identification information from the same item of evidence.

Abstract: This paper describes an image processing system
that is in operational use for the extraction of latent information
from degraded photographs arising in routine police work. A wide
range of spatial domain and Fourier domain techniques to both
diagnose and correct for various picture problesm are described. The
enhancement methods discussed include contrast enhancement, noise
filtering, digital color filtering, perspective correction, adaptive
Fourier filtering to remove background patterns, and image
deblurring. Color images are treated by operating on the separated
red, green and blue (R,G,B) components, and novel encoding scheme is
used to enable the display of color pictures on a standard 8-bit
frame store. These techniques have been developed for, and applied
to, operational rather than laboratory-generated images. A brief
description is given of the hardware that is used, which
incorporates an array processor to enhance computational speed, a
high quality microdensitometer for digitizing images, and a digital
frame store for final display. The system has been configured to
give an operator as much interactive control as possible. (Published

Abstract: For many years, a premise has been accepted in the
field of friction skin identification that in order to have a valid
identification, the print in question must be void of any
dissimilarities. This information has been documented in a number of
classic tests on friction skin identification. However, this
information only partially addresses the issue of dissimilarities.
The other side of the coin is that dissimilarities will not be found
in prints that are the same. This important fact is rarely addressed
in literature on fingerprint identification.

Notes: See Letter to editor JFI 48(5) re: safety issues
Abstract: The method proposed in this paper for developing
latent fingerprints is based on the fact that ruthenium tetroxide
(Ru04) fumes react promptly with various organic
compounds, particularly fatty oils or fats contained in sebaceous
contaminants in latent print residue, producing brownish black or
black ruthenium dioxide (Ru02). Ruthenium tetroxide is a
yellow, volatile crystal (melting point: 25.5oC, boiling
point: 100.8oC) at room temperature. Conventional methods
using RTX have been impractical due to its strong oxidizability and
because, in the two-liquid method, it is trouble-some to produce the
fumes when needed and in the necessary amounts. In this method, this
difficulty was overcome by utilizing a saturated hydrocarbon
halogenid solution of RTX.

Abstract: Vacuum Metal Deposition (VMD) is often considered a
supplemental technique to enhance marginal latent prints partially
developed by cyanoacrylate fuming, especially of prints of recent
vintage.
This study examined the sensitivity and effectiveness of
cyanoacrylate ester (CAE) fuming followed by vacuum metal (zinc)
coating of smooth surfaces bearing latent prints up to 24 months
old. Prints were collected on glass slides from a variety of people
selected at random and stored at moderate temperatures for various
lengths of time. The slides were treated by CAE fuming alone, VMD
alone, and by fuming and VMD in sequence. The effectiveness of these
techniques on prints of various ages from different individuals was
estimated by direct optical examination of the results. The effects
of re-humidifying the latent residues and black powder dusting were
also explored. The latent residues and the developed prints were
examined by scanning electron microscope to attempt characterization
of the types of residues responsible for triggering VMD and CAE
visualization.

Babington nebulizer to create a spray for the fluorescent
visualization of latent fingerprints on large area surfaces at crime
scenes. The spray can provide very good resolution of minutiae in
visualizing latent fingerprints on paper with advantages over
fluorescamine in rapidity, cost, and convenience. Further work
needed to establish the best procedures for its use is identified.

Abstract: The field of friction ridge skin identification is
a complex subject. It involves a variety of sciences, empirical
knowledge, and jurisprudence. Occasionally, identification personnel
with limited training and experience can be misdirected by
individuals who lack the thorough understanding of all these various
aspects. The case report in review, with the limited scope of its
research, illustrates the problem of opinions and guidance by
persons lacking the complete and integrated knowledge of the entire
subject area.

Abstract: A novel technique has been developed for the
induction of luminescence in latent fingerprints. A geseous
electrical discharge (20 000 V) followed by treatment with the
vapours formed by heating ammonium hydrogen carbonate induces UV
excited luminescence in latent prints. Good results have been
achieved on a number of surfaces and the technique is effective on
fresh prints as well as prints up to several weeks of age. Developed
prints have remained luminescent over a year after initial treatment
and the method does not prohibit the subsequent application of
conventional fingerprint development techniques. It can also be used
to induce luminescence in prints developed with cyanoacrylate.

Abstract: This paper aims to clarify the relationship of the
dermis to epidermal ridge configuration. After fixation, human
fingertip epidermis was peeled off from the dermis by alkaline
treatment, and the dermal surface was observed with the scanning
electron microscope (SEM). The SEM pattern of furrows, grooves, and
papillae showed an exact negative fingerprint image. Papillae had
various sizes and complicated shapes and were arranged continuously
but irregularly on each side of the furrow. Size and shape
variabilities were not dependent on the site of the fingerprint
region. The papilla number tended to increase with age due to
derivation of secondary papillae from the primary papilla as well as
new formation of small papillae. The dermal surface exhibited some
sitespecific fibrous appearance at the furrow and papilla, whereas
the surface was smooth at the groove. The characteristics of the
dermal surface structure as related to the epidermis can be
explained by a stronger dermisepidermis adhesion at the furrow than
at the papilla or at the groove. (Published abstract)

Abstract: Development of latent prints with the fumes from
cyanoacrylate ester adhesives has been in widespread use since 1978,
when personnel of the U.S. Army Crime Lab in Japan where introduced
to the technique by criminalists of the Japanese National Police.
Throughout the past six years research has been ongoing, providing
us with the two main fuming methods that are in use today:
acceleration by cotton pads treated with sodium hydroxide, or
accelerationwith heat. Most other methods available today are
variations on these two methods. While both of these methods and
their variations have provided very good results, they have also
provided a number of advantages and/or disadvantages in their use as
accelerants for cyanoacrylate ester fuming. (Quoted from
introduction)

Abstract: The distance from the center of one friction skin
ridge to the center of the ridge next to it is quite variable in
different regions of a given fingerprint. This distance has been
measured on a small sample of fingerprints. In this sample, the
measured value ranged from 0.2 mm to 0.85 mm on fingerprints from
male subjects, and from 0.2 mm to 0.75 mm on fingerprints from
female subjects. The mean ridge-to-ridge distance for 731
measurements on the fingerprints of ten male subjects was 0.46 mm.
For 1,046 measurements on the fingerprints of ten female subjects
the mean value was 0.41 mm. A method is described for using these
values to calculate ridge counts between near neighboring minutiae,
and estimates are made of the errors likely to result from the use
of calculated ridge counts. (Published abstract)

Keywords: LP/unique/dermatoglyphics
Abstract: In the present study, the normal development of
papillary ridges was studied in the volar pads of both fore and
hindpaws of the opossum, Monodelphis domesticus. At birth, the
developmental state of the opossum's paws is equivalent to that of a
six-week human embryo. The development of papillary ridges in the
opossum occurs entirely postnatally and the hindpaw lags behind the
forepaw by at least four days in most developmental parameters.
Papillary ridge formation is preceded by four events: skin
innervation, Merkel cell differentiation, mesenchymal condensation,
and epidermal proliferation. The apical pads at the tips of the
digits and the interdigital pads between the heads of the
metacarpals (or metatarsals) have a unique pattern of innervation
and mesenchymal content as compared to the non-pad skin. Each pad is
innervated by a prominent nerve trunk and axons ascend towards the
epidermis providing a density of innervation that exceeds that in
the non-pad epidermis. Merkel cells are absent in non-pad epidermis
but
present in the pads prior to the onset of formation of papillary
ridges. A loose aggregation of mesenchyme forms the core of the pads
and the superficial dermis is more cellular in the pads as compared
to the equivalent dermis in surrounding non-pad skin. Developing
papillary ridges always contained Merkel cell-axon complexes. Merkel
cell axon complexes serve as the anatomical substrate of slowly
adapting (SA) mechanoreceptors. The presence of these complexes
during early skin differentiation is consistent with the use of the
opossum's forepaw in climbing to the nipple, but also suggests other
possible functions. We hypothesize that the nervous system might
play a role in the timing
or patterning of the formation of papillary ridges. (Published

Abstract: Most latent prints left inadvertently on articles
at crime scenes consist of latent residue or body oils and are
developed by means of powder. When it is necessary to enhance blood
impressions, a variety of methods are available to choose from.
Many, including Benzidine, and O-tolidine, are recognized
carcinogens, requiring special safety precautions. Some, such as
Amido Black and Ninhydrin, require the print be subjected to heat
prior to developing. This presentation will discuss a new staining
technique for the development of latent prints left on the adhesive
side of tape, and bloody prints.
Coomassie Brilliant Blue R250 is a general protein stain used
routinely in Forensic Serology sections. Coomassie is more sensitive
than crystal violet stains. Coomassiie has a distinct advantage over
crystal violet, in that Coomassie stain utilizes a destaining

Abstract: The term common integument includes skin and
associated glands, subcutaneous tissue, hair, nails, and the mammary
gland.
The skin consists of epidermis and dermis (or corium), which are
derived respectively from two main sources: ectoderm and the
underlying mesenchyme, separated by a basement membrane. As is
common in many organs, epithelio-mesenchymal interaction is
important. Epidermal growth factor, which is closely related to the
nerve growth factor, is a peptide found in high concentration in the
submandibular gland. Several growth factors, including epidermal and
fibroblast varieties, are thought to accelerate wound healing.
Prenatally, however, wound healing seems to depend more on
hyaluronic acid and it involves the deposition of highly organized
collagen (absence of scarring).
The dermal mesenchyme controls the transformation of ectoderm into
epidermis, as well as the stratification and proliferation of the
epidermis. The degree of development of the skin and its appendages
varies from one region to another, so that extensive overlapping
occurs in the morphological appearances seen at any given time.
Considerable regional variability occurs also in regard to glands,
hairs, pigment cells, fat and sensory endings. the skin of the palm
and sole shows the maximum number of layers. (Quoted from text)

Abstract: This paper describes a new technique to inspect
dermal ridges on the dermal surface instead of the epidermal
surface. The dermal surface was exposed by chemical treatment and
stained with toluidine blue. Dermal ridges are observable by the
metachromatic effect of the reagent, which might suggest a close
relationship between morphological characteristics and quantitative
variations of biochemical components in the connective tissue.
Dermatoglyphic features were recognized in fetuses from the 14th
gestational week. Morphogenesis of dermal components--that is,
grooves, primary and secondary dermal ridges, furrows, papillae, and
sweat ducts--was examined at various gestational stages. The general
law in the developmental sequence of the ridges in different volar
areas was also confirmed. (Published abstract)

Abstract: A new technique was applied to examine

conditions. For this purpose, the volar skin was first fixed in
formalin, incubated in 1 N potassium hydroxide solution, and then
the dermis was exposed. Dermatoglyphic features were inspected on
the dermal surface by staining with toluidine blue solution. This
technique may be useful in cases in which the regular examination
process does not provide favourable results because of advanced
decomposition of the skin.

Abstract: Some latent print examiners have accepted the
concept the friction ridge characteristics are synonyms with the

a latent print. These examiners hold the view that one friction
ridge characteristics, regardless of its configuration and
complexity, constitutes only one point of identity. This is an
erroneous concept. Friction ridge characteristics and points of
identity are two distinct and separate concepts involving the same
physical data. There are only three basic friction ridge
characteristic types used as points of identity: ridge ending
bifurcation and dot. There are many other types of characteristics
and some may be of sufficient rarity to merit an examiner's special
consideration when making a comparison. The other ridge
characteristics, however, involve a combination of three basic
types. (Author's introduction)

Abstract: An iodine based reagent has already been described
for use by scientists to reveal latent fingerprints on wallpaper and
emulsion painted walls. For safety reasons, the reagent has now been
reformulated for use by non-scientific personnel at scenes of crime.
The highly flammable cyclohexane in the original formulation has
been replaced with Fluorisol.
This new formulation has been extensively tested and found to be
comparable to ninhydrin for revealing latent fingerprints on wall
paper and superior for vinyl wallpapers and emulsion painted walls.
A total of 103 scenes have been examined with iodine based reagents
and 69 marks have been recorded from 37 of these scenes. (Published

Abstract: The use of a new amino acid reagent
1,8-diazafluoren-9-one (DFO), which produces a highly fluorescent
species with latent fingerprints on paper, is described. Spectral
characteristics of the fluorescent fingerprint show excitiation
(approximately 470nm) and emission (approximately 570nm) amxima in
the visible part of the spectrum. Some printing inks fluoresce under
these conditions and would therefore hinder fingerprint detection
but optical brighteners present in paper do not interfere.
Fluorescent fingerprints visualised by DFO revealed more fingerprint
detail than ninhydrin, the standard method for such surfaces.

Abstract: An apparently new form of complete absence of
dermal ridge patterns was transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait
through five generations in an Irish-American family. Affected
individuals lacked dermatoglyphic patterns, sweat pores, and ability
to sweat in the volar areas of the fingertips, palms, and soles.
They also had congenital milia and blisters on the fingertips and
soles at birth, abnormal nails, single transverse palmar creases,
increased heat tolerance, and painful fissures in adult life around
the fingernails in cold weather.

Abstract: This biography details the life of the man most

Henry followed in the steps of Herschel, Galton, and Faulds as a
pioneer studying fingerprints, his contribution to the field should
not be understated. He developed a system to classify and sort
fingerprint cards. This complex system was relatively easy to teach
and became the widely used method to file fingerprint cards
throughout most of the world. This widespread use of his system
established the permanent association of this man's name with the
science.

Keywords: LP/scientific principles/ethics
Abstract: The prevalence of ethical problems in the forensic
sciences is difficult to discover because of the limited sources of
this information. A clear understanding of ethical violations is
essential to establish the extent to which justice e is hindered by
unethical conduct among forensic problems. Seven major classes of
evidence of ethical conduct and examples of each are examiner:
proficiency testing studies, self-reported surveys and focus groups,
complaints to forensic science associations, court cases, content
analysis of ethical codes, anecdotal data (news reports, the
professional literature, and case studies), and circumstantial
evidence. Three main categories of ethical problems emerged from the
data: problems of competency, individual misbehavior, and problems
of practicing science in an adversary system. Thee is a need for
more studies and various data collections to improve understanding
of ethical problems in the forensic sciences and to seek to
ameliorate them. (Published abstract)

Abstract: Two surveys were carried out to determine the
percentage of latent fingerprints detectable by their inherent
luminescence under laser illumination. Less that on-fifth of 240
samples each containing four prints on paper gave luminescent
prints. The luminescence from these was weak and only detectable
under close scrutiny. Similar results were obtained for 120 samples
each containing one print on glass. Forty-one of the samples showing
no luminescence were sprayed, approximately one month after
deposition, with a solution containing the fluorescent taggin agent
7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole(NBD chloride). After
treatment with NBD chloride, 37 of these samples gave luminescent
prints, many of which were intensely luminescent and contained good
ridge detail. (Published abstract)

Abstract: Among the chemical reagents that are currently used
for the development of latent fingerprints on paper, ninhydrin is
undoubtedly the most common. Yet the ninhydrin method suffers form
several disadvantages because the reaction is slow and requires heat
for complete development. Sometimes the method is misleading because
of background reactions and not all individuals excrete sufficient
perspiration to leave latent prints identifiable with ninhydrin.
In this first part of a comprehensive research program directed
towards reagents tha may replace ninhydrin for the development of
latent fingerprints, we have investigated the scope and limitations
of the recently reported 4-dimethylamino-ccinamaldehyde (DMAC)
reagent. (Published abstract)

Abstract: After examining the suggested characteristics
proposed by the listed authors, it is obvious that contradiction and
confusion exist. No standardized terminology exists at present.
Frequently extended lists confuse more often than serving to clarigy
the issue when seeking to communicate with others not familiar with
the terminology. A short list of easily defined characteristics
allows for clairy instead of confusion and conflict. A standard of
three characteristics seems most reasonable: the ridge ending, the
bifurcation, and the dot. These three characteistics are basic,
common and easy to define. They have the probability of being found
in all sections of friction skin. (Author's conclusion)

Abstract: Amino acids and peptides separated by
chromatography and electrophoresis on thin layers of cellulose or
silica gel were located by spraying them with either ninhydrin,
fluorescamine, or o-phthaldialdehyde, o-Phthaldialdeyhde and
ninhydrin permitted the detection of amino acids in teh 50-200-pmol
range and were superior to fluorescamine. Ninhydrin and
fluorescamine, on the other hand, were better for the detection of
peptides. Proline and peptides with amino-terminal proline were best
detected as black spots when sprayed with fluorescamine, whereas
peptides with amino-terminal proline which also contained amino
groups were more easily visualized with ninhydrin or
o-phthaldialdehyde. A method is described for the elution of
peptides from thin layers with 6 N HCl. Most small peptides were
recovered in yields of at least 80%, ninhydrin-reacted peptides in
somewhat lower yields. ONly fluorescamine-treated peptides could be
recovered form thin layers without destruction of any amino acid.

Abstract: Analysis of the fingerprints of 571 members of the
Habbanite isolate suggest inherited patterns and pattern sequences.
A genetic theory has been developed; it assumes that the basic
fingerprint pattern sequence is all ulnar loops and that a variety
of genes cause deviations from this pattern sequence. Genes that
have been proposed include: (1) a semidominant gene for whorls on
the thumbs (one homozygote has whorls on both thumbs, the other has
ulnar loops on both thumbs and the heterozygote usually has two
ulnar loops or one ulnar loop and one whorl); (2) a semidominant
gene for whorls on the ring fingers which acts like the gene for
whorls on the thumbs; (3) a dominant gene for arches on the thumbs
and often on other fingers; (4) one or more dominant genes for
arches on the fingers; (5) a dominant gene for whorls on all fingers
except for an ulnar loop on the middle finger; (6) a dominant gene
for radial loops on the index fingers, frequently associated with an
arch on the middle fingers; and (7) a recessive gene for radial
loops on the ring and little fingers. These genes may act
independently or may show epistasis. (Published abstract)

Abstract: There is a substantial amount of published
literature adressing forensic approaches to making such [latent
print] examinations. While many latent fingerprints contain numerous
points of comparison, and thereby pose no particular obstacle to the
identification process, a number of the latent prints encountered in
scene work posses less than ideal clarity. It is in the examination
of this latter group of prints that even the most experienced
examiner needs to have established a fundamental set of
identification criteria that is framed in good basic forensic
practices. It is our intent to explore some of the aspects that
should go into the development of such an approach. (Published

Abstract: The use of volar advancement flaps is presented for
volar oblique amputation of fingertips. Use of a mini-volar flap
allows closure of a guillotine amputation that leaves no scar on the
pad of the fingertip and has only to be elevated to the axis of
rotation of the PIP joint. This procedure decreases the likelihood
of dorsal necrosis over the middle phalanx, since the dorsal
neurovascular bundle is not encroached upon.

Abstract: To determine the timing of the development of the
various palmar and digital creases, we examined the hands of 100
human fetuses obtained after therapeutic abortion. The fetuses
ranged in age from 7 to 19 fetal weeks, with age being
established by menstrual period dates and ultrasound examination
before termination. Our observations show that palmar and digital
creases develop between 8 and 13 fetal weeks. Digital creases are
well defined by 10 weeks; palmar creases are consistently seen by 13
weeks of gestation. The volar pads are present from 8 to 14 fetal
weeks. A hand malformation or specific insult that occurs before the
time of crease development and that alters the form or function of
the fetal hand can cause secondary alterations increase patterns of
the hand.

Abstract: The effectiveness of the fluoreogenic reagent NBD
chloride has been compared with the popular colour reagent ninhydrin
for the development of fingerprints on paper. NBD Chloride was found
to be more sensitive than ninhydrin for moderately old fingerprints
(39 months) and never inferior to ninhydrin in all other cases. A
qualitative evaluation technique was used to establish the relative
efficiency of each method. This is based on the number of points of
identification, assessed on a 14 scale, where 4 represents a court
worthy print (> 12 points) and 1 represents a print containing no
points.

Abstract: Fingerprints developed with ninhydrin form stable,
colored complexes when treated with various metal salts. Many of
these colored complexes can be used to increase the sensitivity of
detection of latent prints because o fphotoluminescent properties.
The intensity of this photoluminescence is increased at low
temperatures and this is acommon characteristic of each of the
complexes formed with salts of the IIb group of the Peiodic Table.
Spectral characteristics of these Group IIb metal complexes and the
influence of environmental factors on their formation are reported.
These data have helped determine optimal conditions for the
enhancement of ninhydrin developed fingerprints. Taking into account
spectral characteristics, solubility, versatility, stability, and
reproducibility, the sue of the cadmium nitrate tetrahydrate complex
is advocated for general use for fingerprint enhancement. The use of
zinc nitrate is favored if toxicological considerations are
paramount, but ninhydrin development has to be carefully controlled
if optimal results are to be obtained. Limited applications for
mercuric complexes are found when a red shift is desired to remove
background effects. (Published abstract)

Reference type: Journal
Reprint: Not in File
Abstract: The thermal and physical properties of skin are
reviewed briefly in the light of their relationship to skin
functions and their influence on temperature measurement and related
methodology. Thermal conductivity and epidermal thickness have a
direct bearing on the majority of skin functions as these
significantly affect heating rates, thermal pain thresholds, and
blister formation, as will be seen from the experimental data. The
accumulated data on both temperature and pain threshold are used to
estimate epidermal thickness in the intact individual. The procedure
to accomplish this end utilizes the measured thermal pain threshold,
surface temperature, exposure time, and incident energy on a
standardized skin site (volar surface of the forearm) to obtain
conductivity values. These values are then used in a two-layer
system heat flow equation to determine epidermal thickness in other
skin sites (fingers) referred to the standard area. Systematic
exposures to various materials at high temperatures in contact-burn
studies provide data for checking the reliability of this procedure
by alternative computations and comparison with predicted tissue
temperatures derived from earlier work. Certainly, blister formation
and physical measurement of the excised epidermis would provide
direct verification of
the accuracy of the procedure but these measures have not been
undertaken. It is quite possible that over a period of time
verification data could be accumulated incidentally in the clinic
where skin grafting procedures are carried out. For this purpose
only relatively simple measurements of skin temperature and pain
threshold, as described herein, would be required to be performed on
skin graft donors to provide epidermal thickness measurements for
comparison with direct measurements of excised skin
immediately after removal.

Abstract: The physics of fingerprints has been a particularly
neglected field of study. Almost nothing was known about the
physical techniques of developing or detecting fingerprints have
emerged since the widely used powdering method. Research on the
fundamental physics of fingerprints including an investigation into
the mechanism of powder adhesion to fingerprint deposits is
currently being carried out by the fingerprint group of PSDB and by
the Physics Department of the University of Southampton. Work on a
promising physical technique of developing fingerprints on fabric
and other "difficult" surfaces is being carried out in collaboration
with PSDB by the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment (AWRE). The
efforts of these three organizations in this field forms the basis
of this paper. (Quoted from introduction)

Abstract: When a human finger touches a surface a sweat
deposit - the fingerprint - remains on the surface. Although several
methods are used by the police to detect fingerprints operationally,
there is a range of surfaces for which none of these methods is
adequate. In order to develop new techniques it is essential that
the chemical and physical properties of fingerprints are clearly
understood.
This review outlines the current state of knowledge in the field of
fingerprint physics. Emphasis is placed on physical measurements
that have been made on fingerprints. The mechanics of the formation
of fingerprints is discussed as well as results of microscopic
observations that have led to an understanding of the interaction of
fingerprints with flat surfaces. Measurements of contact angles,
optical properties and electrical properties of fingerprints are
also described.
The development of fingerprints by brushing on powder is a well
known technique. In this article work on the mechanics of powder
adhesion to fingerprints is reported along with two electrostatic
methods of fingerprint development. Fingerprints can be developed in
vacuo by metal evaporation. Research on the mechanism of this method
is discussed. This novel technic has recently been introduced for
operational police use.(Published abstract)
