Abstract

An assembly that allows a pseudo real-time (one second delay) observation of latent fingerprints by their short ultraviolet luminescence was designed. It is composed of a mercury-xenon lamp and a CCD camera, both water-cooled and computer controlled. The system is used to study the behaviour of latent fingerprints and stains of body fluids such as blood, semen and saliva under short-UV illumination.
