Forensic fingerprinting deals with identifying the fingerprints at the scene of crime and using the same for catching the culprit. If the fingerprints found at the scene of crime and the fingerprint of the suspect match then it can be produced as evidence in the court of law.

Tip:

You will need a zip lock baggie, a tube of superglue (We have found the gel version works a little better) and a can of soda or drinking glass. Place the can or glass in the zip lock baggie. Lay the baggie flat on the counter. Squeeze out a generous amount of superglue into the baggie (don't glue the glass to the baggie). Seal up the baggie.

If you can, blow some hot, moist air into the baggie, like when you're trying to fog up a window with your breath. Seal it tight. The vapors from the superglue will build up in the tiny zip lock atmosphere and creep up into the prints on the glass or can. There, they will crystallize and, after awhile, you should see starchy white fingerprints develop on the glass or can.
