Cj328-01 Fingerprint Analysis Unit 7 Learning Activity
I chose two glasses for this project. I chose a tall, green stained glass and then a short clear glass.
I washed my hands thoroughly before attempting the project, and scrubbed my sink.
I then put my fingerprints all over both glasses.
I filled my sink with cold water, and then submerged my two glasses into the water for 4 hours. I took the glasses out, and saw that the fingerprints were still on the glasses!! I was extremely shocked at this finding because, I surely though that the water would eliminate the fingerprints.
Hot water- I filled up a sink full of hot clean water, and sat both glasses in the sink for 4 hours, I drained the water and checked the glasses. There was STILL fingerprints on the glasses!!! I am in shock, once again! I surely thought since the cold water didn’t remove the fingerprints, that the hot water would remove the fingerprints.
Soapy Water- I filled up a sink full of soapy water, and placed the two glasses into the sink and left them over night. After cooking breakfast, I checked on the glasses. I drained the water and carefully took the glasses out by the bottom so I wouldn’t get fingerprints on the glass. I examined the stained glass first, I did not see any fingerprints visually! However, when I examined the small clear glass I saw two fingerprints left on the glass. But most of the others have disappeared. So now, I am leaving new fingerprints all over the glass to do the last activity.
Salt Water- After placing the two glasses into the salt water for 5 hours I examined them, and they both still had fingerprints all over the glasses. Now, I would like to test this again with more salt in the future to see if I use more salt, would it eliminate the

    - A fingerprint may be small and unnoticeable to the eye, and even look like many other peoples, but they are in fact very different. Every fingerprint has a different pattern that is unique and unlike anyone else’s. I compared two fingerprints and found that they may look alike from afar, but up close one goes one way, while the other does something else and completely different.…

    When I was dusting my apartment for prints I found about 5 different prints and 2 partial prints. I found one partial print on the glass on my coffee table in the living room and one partial print on the night stand in my room. I found 2 prints on the glass on the sliding door to my patio and 1 print on the mirror in the master bathroom, 1 print on the back of a CD found on the end table in the living room and 1 print on the dining room table in the. I went to JoAnn Fabrics to get a Slinky Science fingerprint science kit so I could use the powder and the feather from the box. The powder came in a bottle so it made it really hard to get prints and I actually had my boyfriend put prints on the things I listed so I could use the powder and the powder was also white and made it hard to see. When I used the feather it would smudge the print and I would have to try and use it a different direction. If I were to side to side with the feather it would smudge the print but if I would go up and down it would push the powder away so I was able to see the print better but not clearly. I did not find any prints in my apartment due to my boyfriend cleaning everything. This is why I only find the prints I did because I asked him to put the prints there.

    These methods are used in more complex situations involving more delicate surfaces. Most latent fingerprinting capture does take place in the laboratory and not at the crime scene itself. Certain developing agents reveal different properties of the fingerprint. Some fingerprint reagents are specific, for example ninhydrin or diazafluorenone react with certain amino acids. Ethyl cyanoacrylate polymerisation works by water-based catalysis and polymer growth. Fat layers as thin as one molecule can be detected with vacuum metal deposition using gold and zinc. More mundane methods, such as the application of fine powders, work by adhesion to sebaceous deposits. All of these methods are used on the insides of gloves discarded by perpetrators, walls, floors, clothing, fabric, wood, and most other materials to reveal latent…
