Latent fingerprints are unintentional impressions of the friction ridges on the fingers or palms that are left on surfaces when someone touches them. These prints are invisible to the naked eye.  At Clue4 Evidence Forensic Lab our experts are specialized in identification of such potential surfaces where fingerprints may be present at the scene of crime.

We can:

1. Develop the Fingerprints using powder dusting method with Black powder, White powder, fluorescent powder.
2. Develop the Fingerprints using Chemical Fuming methods like Iodine fuming, Cyanoacrylate fuming, Silver Nitrate.
3. Develop the Fingerprints using Ninhydrin
4. Develop the Fingerprints using Physical developers
5. Develop the Fingerprints using Alternate Light Sources
6. Develop the Fingerprints using Laser imaging
7. Develop the Fingerprints using Dye Staining like Rhodamine 6G, Basic Yellow 40

At Clue4 Evidence Forensic Lab we employ various techniques to visualize latent prints, such as dusting with fingerprint powders or using chemical fuming methods, which enhance the contrast between the print and the surface. Once visible, the prints are carefully photographed to document their details and then they are lifted using adhesive tape or specialized lifting sheets.

 What we can do –

1. We use Alternate Light Sources for Photographing
2. We use different Lighting techniques like Direct lighting, Raking lighting, UV lighting.
3. We use different microscopes for photography like Stereo microscopes, comparison microscopes, Compatible microscopes, Polarized Light Microscopes, Digital microscopes, Confocal microscopes

We use different lifting methods like Tape lifting, Gel lifting, latex or Silicone lifting, Laser lifting, Electrostatic lifting, Fluoroscent lifting.

At Clue4 Evidence Forensic Lab we analyze the Compare the unique characteristics of the friction ridges in fingerprints, focusing on minutiae such as ridge endings, bifurcations, and patterns. Employs both automated systems and manual techniques to match these features against known fingerprints, ensuring a thorough and accurate comparison.

We use several methods like –

1. Visual Examination
2. Traditional Ridge Analysis
3. Automated Fingerprint Identification System
4. Comparative Analysis
5. 3D fingerprint analysis
6. Density mapping and Ridge tracing
7. Statistical methods and probability models
8. Contextual and circumstantial analysis
