Lee and Gaensslen's Advances in Fingerprint Technology

Reflecting the growth in research in fingerprint technology, this third edition begins by reviewing current, widely used techniques along with some older, historical methods. It then describes more recent developments and emerging technologies that have just begun to reach maturity. Highlights in this edition include advances in the area of blood reagents, emerging trends in print development using nanotechnology, latent print recovery, and decontamination at scenes contaminated with chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive materials. The book also explores methods for digital and chemical imaging of latent prints.
