Abstract

Chemical enhancement of latent fingerprints with ninhydrin or one of its analogs, coupled with postninhydrin u'eatment with metal salts, followed by illumination with an appropriate light source, is still the most practical and affordable technique for the majority of forensic laboratories. To further increase the utility of this technique, chemical modifications of the ninhydrin nucleus are of great importance to improve the chromogenic and luminescent ...
