Sticky fingers, Lisa Bratby. Police Review 14.2.03, pp.27-28. Article on new fingerprint technology. Looks at Mason Vactron's development of the Super Fume (superglue) fingerprint retrieval system and quaser light technology, a light source that will show up fingerprints not caught by the Super Fume. The piece also discusses digital imaging, the process by which fingerprints are captured and photographed, that has been criticised because of its ability to remove or change the mark.
