THE VISUALISATION OF LATENT FINGERMARKS DEPOSITED ONTO CHINESE MONEY ENVELOPES, 100 YEN & 50 YEN BANKNOTES
Research & Development conducted by Shaun Roberts GCGI, Technical, Research & Development Lead, WA Group 29 May 18
The following magnetic fingerprint powders were used to conduct the R&D and produce this report together with the Forenscope Tablet installed with the IR and Colour Micro lenses. All enhancements of the images were done using the Forenscope Software.
- Scenesafe Supranano Fluorescent Yellow Powder
- Scenesafe Supranano Fluorescent Green Powder
- Scenesafe Supranano Fluorescent Red Powder
- Scenesafe Supranano Black Magnetic Powder
