fingerprint dusting kits
Fingerprint dusting kits are tools used by law enforcement and forensic professionals to collect fingerprints from various surfaces. These kits typically include fine powders, brushes, and lifting tape. The powder adheres to the oils and residues left by fingers, making the prints visible for collection.
The dusting process involves lightly brushing the powder over a surface where fingerprints may be present. Once the prints are visible, lifting tape is used to transfer the prints onto a card for analysis. This method is essential in criminal investigations, helping to identify suspects and gather evidence.
