Fingerprint Detection Using Phosphorescent and Fluorescent Phosphors: Opinion
Author(s): Lucas Campbell*
The effective detection of fingerprints is currently crucial for criminal investigations. Fluorescent organic compounds are frequently used to reveal fingerprints, although they are ineffective at finding fingerprints on porous or reflective surfaces. Inorganic phosphors have been used to address the issue of collecting fingerprints on porous/reflective surfaces because they exhibit characteristics such as variable colour emission, afterglow, high chemical stability, and nanosize, which enable the detection of fingerprints on any porous or non-porous surfaces. This review provides a description of how phosphorescent is used as a result of these last two characteristics. The primary physical and chemical aspects of fingerprints that allow for their detection and collecting from any surface were first covered, as well as fluorescent phosphors' use in the detection of latent fingerpr..
