- Additional information
- This paper describes work which was carried out in collaboration with the Home Office, Centre for Applied Science and Technology (CAST). The comparison with Acid Black 1 was suggested by CAST based on practitioner reported problems with the Acid Black 1 method. The results showed that the hyperspectral imaging method had significant advantages over the Acid Black 1 method for certain cases. The technique was subsequently included in the Fingerprint Source Book (2nd edition, 2018) published by the Home Office and internationally recognised as the leading reference manual for fingerprint development practitioners worldwide.
