Hi. I'm currently a crime scene investigation and forensic science advance diploma student here in Ireland. I came across your videos via a friend who is an American csi, I have found your videos to be of great value and of great knowledge for someone like me who is only starting off! Keep up the good work and I appreciate all of your videos.
I understand that the technicians on scene don't do this in a professional context, but is there a criteria that we hobbyists could use to verify that two prints come from the same individual? For example, is there a certain number of matching minutiae points that becomes the threshold for saying that a print comes from a certain individual? Is there a way to measure the overall size of the print that is still useful in identifying an individual, despite the plastic nature of fingertips (thus leaving different sized prints with different levels of pressure)? I have informally heard that fingerprint identification is still largely done by human eye and not through automation. Maybe that is incorrect. But, if it is not, I imagine there has to be some fairly accessible protocols for the certification of a match between two fingerprints. I've found it difficult to find answers to those kinds of analysis questions on RU-vid and on the internet in general.
hi.could you please show me how to develop a fingerprint on a silica gel keyboard? i've tried several times. yet i still get nothing from the keyboard. thank you very much!
Hi, I work as a criminologist in Ukraine, and I came across your video. I was wondering how in the future you will be able to remove the fingers from this pen for further research. And how will you later identify who they belong to , according to what criteria.
