Features: Friction ridge science is an applied discipline with a long history and holds an important position in criminalistics. Throughout its long development, researchers in friction ridge science have been dedicated to applying new natural sciences and technologies to solve key application problems—latent fingerprint detection. Among these, laser fingerprinting, under the relentless efforts of scientists worldwide engaged in criminalistics research, has developed into a relatively complete system and has been applied in judicial practice. This book allows readers to explore the current research status of laser fingerprint detection in various countries and provides a detailed understanding of the cutting-edge research in fingerprint detection technology. It serves as a valuable reference for fingerprint researchers and faculty and students of relevant universities and colleges. Friction ridge science is an applied discipline with a long history and holds an important position in criminalistics. Throughout its long development, researchers in friction ridge science have been dedicated to applying new natural sciences and technologies to solve key application problems—latent fingerprint detection. Among these, laser fingerprinting, under the relentless efforts of scientists worldwide engaged in criminalistics research, has developed into a relatively complete system and has been applied in judicial practice. This book is primarily based on the application research achievements in laser fingerprinting by Dr. Munsell's laboratory at the Department of Physics, Texas Tech University, one of the first researchers in the world to engage in laser fingerprint detection. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the basic theories and principles of laser fingerprinting, along with numerous practical cases, enabling readers not only to grasp the current international research status of laser fingerprint detection but also to gain a detailed understanding of the cutting-edge topics in fingerprint technology. This book is suitable for fingerprint researchers and criminalistics professionals, as well as an invaluable reference for students of relevant universities and colleges.
