title: Advances in fingerprint detection.
abstract: Since the first conviction using fingerprints as evidence in 1902, the detection of fingerprints at crime scenes has become a key weapon in the identification and apprehension of criminals. Almost a century after Edward Henry published The Classification and Use of Fingerprints in 1898, a new magnetic flake technology has been purpose-designed for scene-of-crime investigations.
