SummaryFingerprint identification is one of the most common and often used forensic tools worldwide. It has been used globally by government agencies for the past 100 years, outperforming DNA and all other systems combined to identify and catch criminals. Even so, there are limitations motivating scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory in NM to develop a unique new method using micro x-ray fluorescence (MXRF). When used in conjunction with conventional methods of detection, it has a potential to help expand the use of fingerprinting as a forensic investigation tool. My report provides an overview of fingerprint identification history and techniques, in clear, easy to understand layman’s terms.
