Additional information

Demonstrates a protocol that can be used in forensic case work to demonstrate the time sequencing of the laying down of fingerprints and inks on paper. This has not been possible to achieve in the past. It will eventually improve fingerprinting. The Netherlands Forensics Institute, one of the world’s leading forensics labs, has taken a serious interest in the application of SIMS to help with fingerprint analysis and is collaborating with Surrey. Further investigation of the technique in its conventional form and in ambient pressure SIMS system are under development together with NIST (USA) and NPL.
