Can Fingerprint Detection Technology Benefit By Use Of Micro-X-Ray Fluorescence Techniques

CAN FINGERPRINT DETECTION TECHNOLOGY BENEFIT BY USE OF MICRO-X-RAY FLUORESCENCE TECHNIQUES

Introduction

This report is the product of my investigation into the science of fingerprint identification methods. The proposal of January 24, 2007, allowed me to carry out research and evaluate a novel method developed by University of California scientists. The technique, known as micro-x-ray fluorescence, (MXRF) was introduced at the 229th national meeting of the American Chemical Society, in San Diego, on March 13, 2005. Claimed to be revolutionary for detecting fingerprints that are difficult to distinguish through conventional means, the process may conceivably promote further use of fingerprinting as a forensic investigational tool. (Bernstein, 2005)

The proposed topic was chosen for a variety of reasons. Population growth, overwhelming concerns over worldwide terrorism, and recent capabilities of the general public to access classified information, are making it more......
