Abstract
Multi-metal deposition (MMD) is a versatile fingermarks detection technique adapted from the colloidal gold biolabeling. However, the tedious procedures of MMD makes it receive little attention compared with other methods. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of MMD technique on several common fabrics, which is considered notoriously challenging for latent fingermark detection. Four different MMD formulations were examined to process fingermarks deposited on nylon taffeta, polyester taffeta, polyester pongee and cotton sateen to determine the most suitable one and the influence of aging and water immersion were also determined through subsequent experiments. It was found that MMD I outperformed other three formulations and obtained excellent results on nylon taffeta, polyester taffeta and satin ribbon, with polyester taffeta and satin ribbon providing more than 30% of identifiable marks even for fingermarks aged over 28 days. Cotton sateen and oxford cloth failed to produce ridge details but evidence of "touch" were successfully visualized, which may contribute to further DNA extraction. Water immersion did have some observable influence on the quality of detected marks as part of the MMD reactant within fingermarks lost during immersion, but the result from nylon taffeta and satin ribbon is still satisfying with the percentage of marks scored 3 and 4 reached 30%. The result of this study confirmed the capability of MMD I in treated with fingermarks on several kinds of fabrics, and shows potential to promote this non-instrumentation dependent technique.

Abstract
This paper reports the synthesis of high-quality upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) - sodium yttrium tetrafluoride doped with ytterbium and erbium (NaYF4:Yb,Er) with a silica shell and capped with phenyl functional groups. The main goal of this research was to design tailor-made UCNPs for fingermark detection, to test and validate a nanoparticle-based detection technique and to compare their performance against a benchmark method to assess potential implementation in routine practice by law enforcement agencies. The water-based UCNPs solution was applied to natural fingermarks on a number of substrates. This is the first ever systematic comparative study between UCNPs and a benchmark fingermark detection technique - cyanoacrylate fuming (CAF) followed by luminescent dye staining. Fingermark detection effectiveness was studied by treating 300 latent fingermark specimens on aluminium foil, polyethylene, polypropylene and glass slides. It was concluded that, on average, CAF performed better across the substrates tested. Nevertheless, UCNPs can be advantageous for fingermark detection on multicoloured, patterned or luminescent substrates due to their unique optical properties. There are, however, shortfalls associated with their synthesis and use that need to be addressed before they can be considered for operational purposes.

Abstract
The effect of the shape of semiconductor nanocrystals on their performance for visualising latent fingermarks was investigated for the first time. Highly luminescent CdSe/CdS core/shell nanocrystals in rod and spherical shapes were synthesised in organic solvent and transferred to aqueous solution using ligand exchange. The 3-mercaptopropionic acid coated nanorods and nanospheres were characterised using electron microscopy and UV-visible absorbance and luminescence spectrophotometry. A simple and rapid development of fresh to less than a week-old natural fingermarks from 4 donors (male and female) on non-porous surfaces including glass slides, aluminium foil and germanium disks using both CdSe/CdS core/shell nanorods and spherical dots was achieved, wherein nanorods demonstrated an enhanced development of ridge details in comparison to the spherical dots.

Abstract
There is an immense literature on detection of latent fingerprints (LFPs) with fluorescent nanomaterials because fluorescence is one of the most sensitive detection methods. Although many fluorescent probes have been developed for latent fingerprint detection, many challenges remain, including the low selectivity, complicated processing, high background, and toxicity of nanoparticles used to visualize LFPs. In this study, we demonstrate biocompatible, efficient, and low background LFP detection with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) coated fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs). PVP-coated FND (FND@PVP) is biocompatible at the cellular level. They neither inhibit cellar proliferation nor induce cell death via apoptosis or other cell killing pathways. Moreover, they do not elicit an immune response in cells. PVP coating enhances the physical adhesion of FND to diverse substrates and in particular results in efficient binding of FND@PVP to fingerprint ridges due to the intrinsic amphiphilicity of PVP. Clear, well-defined ridge structures with first, second, and third-level of LFP details are revealed within minutes by FND@PVP. The combination of this binding specificity and the remarkable optical properties of FND@PVP permits the detection of LPFs with high contrast, efficiency, selectivity, sensitivity, and reduced background interference. Our results demonstrate that background-free imaging via multicolor emission and dual-modal imaging of FND@PVP nanoparticles have great potential for high-resolution imaging of LFPs.

Abstract
In forensic science, there is a high demand for a technique that allows the revelation of fingermarks invisible to the naked eye as well as the chemical information they contain. Here, we present a feasibility study consisting of using both the luminescence enhanced by surface plasmon of gold nanoparticles, and the surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy signal of fingermark chemical components to image latent fingermarks. A latent fingermark deposited on a transparent glass substrate was visually revealed using single-metal deposition employing gold nanoparticles. The resulting enhanced luminescence was monitored over a developed area of the latent fingermark, displaying light regions of 200-400 μm, corresponding to the fingermark ridges. The Raman signal of the fingermark's chemical components was enhanced into a measurable signal. Imaging those Raman peaks revealed the ridges pattern, attesting to the potential of our method. Since SMD is an end-of-sequence revelation technique for which further enhancement techniques do not exist, this work aims at demonstrating the feasibility of the technique in order to apply it on different systems, able to illuminate a complete surface of a few cm, and thus capable of both detecting contaminants in LFM and imaging features of the size of a complete LFM.

Abstract
Single metal deposition (SMD II) is a fingermark detection technique based on the use of colloidal gold. The technique has been simplified and optimised over the years to become more reliable, sensitive and user-friendly. Physical developer (PD) is a well-established detection method based on silver deposition from a redox solution. This study presents an extensive comparison of SMD II against PD for fingermark detection on porous substrates. The two techniques were compared as (i) standalone methods, (ii) in sequence after the application of routine amino acids reagents (1,2-indanedione/zinc followed by ninhydrin), and (iii) after the substrates have been wet. More than 1000 fingermark specimens were processed. Overall, the performance of SMD II was judged to be inferior to that of PD; therefore, SMD II cannot be recommended as a valid replacement for fingermark detection on porous substrates. Indanedione/zinc and ninhydrin application negatively impacts on SMD II performance and the technique gave inconsistent results across the selected range of porous substrates. Moreover, the detected fingermarks lacked contrast making their visualisation difficult. However, even if PD remains the technique of choice, SMD II showed significant potential. It proved to be less affected by donor variability and it can be applied on both porous and non-porous substrates. It did not lead to uncontrolled background staining that commonly occurs with PD. If contrast and consistency issues can be addressed in future research, SMD II may become a viable alternative to PD.

Abstract
A simple, fast, and laboratory efficient doped P carbon nanoparticles synthesis is developed for fingerprint imaging, using 1,3-dihydroxyacetone and di-phosphorous pentoxide. Fluorescence nanoparticles, with an average size of 230 nm were obtained, without additional energy input or external heating. ATR, solid NMR, XPS and fluorescence spectroscopy revealed their surface functionalization; a reaction mechanism is proposed. Fluorescence measurements exhibited a maximum emission band at ca. 495 nm, when excited at 385 nm. The images obtained, on different surfaces such as mobile telephone screen, magnetic band and metallic surface of a credit card and a Euro banknote treated with the obtained nano-powders allows us to record positive matches, confirming that the experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of proposed method.

Abstract
Fingerprint fluorescence imaging has become one of the most prominent technologies in the field of forensic medicine, but it seldom considers the security protection of detection information, which is of great importance in modern society. Herein we demonstrate that luminescent TbIII -carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) complex binding aptamer hydrogels that are reversibly responsive to ClO- /SCN- can be used for the selective detection, protection, and storage of fingerprint information. The imaging information of the fingerprint can be quenched and recovered by ClO- /SCN- regulation, respectively, resulting in reversible on/off conversion of the luminescence signals for the encryption and decryption of multiple levels of information. The present study opens new avenues for multilevel imaging, data recording, and security protection of fingerprint information with tunable fluorescent hydrogels.

Abstract
Fingerprinting is an essential form of identification for both biometric security and forensics today. Herein, we describe the procedure and principle of creating highly resolved, chemically robust, 3D fingerprint physical replicas, which is based on the solvent-assisted molding of transparent plastics and motion-promoted growth of semi-crystalline polymeric nanostructures. Prior to fingerprinting atop, polycarbonate, a commercial polymer with excellent durability and optical transparency, is first swelled and softened with a mild solvent (acetone). The molding motion conforms polymer chains between fingerprint ridges, which facilitates the formation of semi-crystalline spherulites and results in greater opacity between ridges than underneath ridges. Besides being more enduring than digital scanning and ink printed counterparts, the plastic fingerprint replicas can provide additional morphological information (depth of the ridge) and high-level details (distribution of sweat pores).

Abstract
It is of essential importance to visualize latent fingerprint (LFP) and analyze the compounds therein. For this purpose, various approaches have been developed but suffer from low imaging and/or detection efficiency. Most importantly, most of them require a necessary in-solution process and thus are not applicable to LFPs on bulky or water-sensitive substrates. In this work, we report an all-dry method to achieve simultaneous visualization and transfer of LFP and enhanced Raman analysis of multiple species therein. In this innovative approach, polydopamine (PDA) film-coated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) flake with dense plasmonic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs@PDA@PDMS) was applied to cover the substrate carrying LFP. After gentle separation, the AgNPs@PDA film was transferred from PDMS to the LFP ridges to visualize a positive LFP pattern on the substrate, leaving behind a complementary (negative) LFP pattern on the PDMS flake. The compounds in the LFP were further analyzed via the AgNP-enhanced Raman technique. This approach enables high-contrast and full-feature visualization and transfer of LFP on arbitrary nonporous substrates and facilitates sensitive Raman analysis of multiple species in the sweat and thus promises great potential for practical applications.

Abstract
Single metal deposition (SMD II), a recently proposed method for the development of latent fingermarks, was investigated by systematically altering aspects of the procedure to assess their effect on the level of development and contrast achieved. Gold nanoparticle size, temperature of the deposition solution bath, and orbital shaking during detection were shown to affect the levels of development and contrast obtained. Gold nanoparticles of diameter 15-21nm were found to be most effective for satisfactory visualisation of latent fingermarks, while solutions that were applied at room temperature were found to adequately balance the ratio between the contrast of the fingermark ridge detail and the level of background staining achieved. Finally, optimum levels of development and contrast were obtained through constant agitation of both solution baths at approximately 50RPM throughout the submersion time. SMD II was also tested on a large variety of substrate types and shown to be effective on a range of porous, non-porous, and semi-porous surfaces; however, the detection quality can be significantly influenced by the substrate nature. This resulted in the production of dark grey, white, or gold coloured fingermarks on different surfaces, as well as reversed detection on certain types of plastic, similarly seen through the use of vacuum metal deposition.

Abstract
Fluorescent silica nanoparticles (FSNPs) are synthesized through the Stöber method by incorporating silane-modified organic dye molecules. The modified fluorescent organic dye molecule is able to be prepared by allylation and hydrosilylation reactions. The optical properties of as-prepared FSNPs are shown the similar optical properties of PR254A (allylated Pigment Red 254) and have outstanding photostability. The polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is introduced onto the surface of FSNP to enhance the binding affinity of PVP-coated FSNP for latent fingerprints (LFPs) detection. The simple preparation and easy control of surface properties of FSNPs show potential as a fluorescent labeling material for enhanced latent fingerprint detection on hydrophilic and hydrophobic substrates in forensic science for individual identification.

Abstract
This publication presents one of the first uses of silicon oxide nanoparticles to detect fingermarks. The study is not confined to showing successful detection of fingermarks, but is focused on understanding the mechanisms involved in the fingermark detection process. To gain such an understanding, various chemical groups are grafted onto the nanoparticle surface, and parameters such as the pH of the solutions or zeta potential are varied to study their influence on the detection. An electrostatic interaction has been the generally accepted hypothesis of interaction between nanoparticles and fingermarks, but the results of this research challenge that hypothesis, showing that the interaction is chemically driven. Carboxyl groups grafted onto the nanoparticle surfaces react with amine groups of the fingermark secretion. This formation of amide linkage between carboxyl and amine groups has further been favoured by catalyzing the reaction with a compound of diimide type. The research strategy adopted here ought to be applicable to all detection techniques using nanoparticles. For most of them the nature of the interaction remains poorly understood.

Abstract
Photoluminescence is one of the most sensitive techniques for fingerprint detection, but it also suffers from background fluorescence and selectivity at the expense of generality. The method described herein integrates the advantages of near-infrared-light-mediated imaging and molecular recognition. In principle, upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) functionalized with a lysozyme-binding aptamer were used to detect fingerprints through recognizing lysozyme in the fingerprint ridges. UCNPs possess the ability to suppress background fluorescence and make it possible for fingerprint imaging on problematic surfaces. Lysozyme, a universal compound in fingerprints, was chosen as the target, thus simultaneously meeting the selectivity and generality criteria in photoluminescence approaches. Fingerprints on different surfaces and from different people were detected successfully. This strategy was used to detect fingerprints with cocaine powder by using UCNPs functionalized with a cocaine-binding aptamer.

Abstract
The thermal development of latent fingerprints on paper surfaces is a simple, safe, and chemicals-free method, based on the faster heating of the substrate underlying the print residue. Microwave heating is proposed for the first time for the development of latent fingerprints on cellulose-based substrate, in order to add to the thermal development mechanism the further characteristic of being able to heat the fingerprint residues to a different extent with respect to the substrate, due to the intrinsic difference in their dielectric properties. Numerical simulation was performed to confirm and highlight the selectivity of microwaves, and preliminary experimental results point out the great potentialities of this technique, which allowed developing both latent sebaceous-rich and latent eccrine-rich fingerprints on different porous surfaces, in less than 30 sec time with an applied output power of 500 W. Microwaves demonstrated more effectiveness in the development of eccrine-rich residues, aged up to 12 weeks.

Abstract
The detection of metabolites is very important for the estimation of the health of human beings. Latent fingerprint contains many constituents and specific contaminants, which give much information of the individual, such as health status, drug abuse etc. For a long time, many efforts have been focused on visualizing latent fingerprints, but little attention has been paid to the detection of such substances at the same time. In this article, we have devised a versatile approach for the ultra-sensitive detection and identification of specific biomolecules deposited within fingerprints via a large-area SERS imaging technique. The antibody bound to the Raman probe modified silver nanoparticles enables the binding to specific proteins within the fingerprints to afford high-definition SERS images of the fingerprint pattern. The SERS spectra and images of Raman probes indirectly provide chemical information regarding the given proteins. By taking advantage of the high sensitivity and the capability of SERS technique to obtain abundant vibrational signatures of biomolecules, we have successfully detected minute quantities of protein present within a latent fingerprint. This technique provides a versatile and effective model to detect biomarkers within fingerprints for medical diagnostics, criminal investigation and other fields.

Abstract
Motivated by the urgent demand for the detection of latent fingerprints using fluorescence-based nanotechnology, this work was devoted to developing a simple synthetic approach to obtain positively charged CdTe QDs with enhanced fluorescence and affinity for the improvement of latent fingerprint detection. Through this synthetic method, the positively charged CdTe-COONH(3)NH(3)(+) QDs were successfully achieved by using hydrazine hydrate as both the surface stabilizer and pH adjuster during the preparation process. In comparison to the negatively charged CdTe-COO(-) QDs prepared by using sodium hydroxide as the pH adjuster, the CdTe-COONH(3)NH(3)(+) QDs showed enhanced fluorescence. The effectiveness of CdTe-COO(-) and CdTe-COONH(3)NH(3)(+) QDs for detection of latent fingerprints present on a large variety of smooth objects was systematically and comparatively studied. The results indicate that the detection of latent fingerprints by using CdTe-COONH(3)NH(3)(+) QDs as fluorescent labeling marks was greatly enhanced, and more characteristic finger ridge details were detected and identified due to their enhanced affinity with latent fingerprints, in comparison to the detection by using CdTe-COO(-) QDs as fluorescent labeling marks. The CdTe-COONH(3)NH(3)(+) QDs show superior detection capability than the CdTe-COO(-) QDs, which greatly improves the applicability of CdTe QDs for practical application in latent fingerprint detection.
