Fluorescence Spectroscopy as an Aid to Imaging Latent Fingermarks in the Ultraviolet

CODEN: JFSCAS

Abstract

Two- and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopic data have been recorded from sebum-rich latent fingermarks on quartz and white card. The fingermark residue was found to fluoresce between 310 to 380 nm and have an excitation range between 260 to 300 nm. The data are used to describe the results observed when imaging the inherent ultraviolet photoluminescence of latent fingermarks.
