DAY 1:
• FLS: Forensic Light Sources (Long wave UV – Visible- Infrared Light).
• Digital Imaging: Cameras, optics for fingerprint work, pure optical
enhancements.
• Image enhancement: Software for fingerprint enhancement & case
presentation.

Applications: Fingerprint Development (Cyanoacrylate Fuming Techniques, Dye Staining and Fluorescence powder), Biological Stains detection (Blood techniques - Other body fluids), Other Evidence Collection (Fibers, Shoeprints, Bones), Bruises and Bite Marks (Melanin / Iron), Questioned Documents, Gun Shot Residues. Fingerprint Enhancements, Tracking, Computer digital storing/transmission, Case presentation with charting.

Techniques: Fluorescence Technique (Advantages over powders), Absorption Technique (Blood, Ninhydrin-ZnCl), Transmission & Blocking (filters). Optical Filtering / Bandpass Filtering / Filter combining. Computer interfacing / transferring & compression of data. Software enhancements: Background elimination, FFT treatments, digital filters. Side by side comparison, extractions of points, charting for court presentation.

Demonstrated Systems:
• MCS-400, CS-16-500 and HandScope® Forensic Light Sources (Fingerprint, Biology, Trace Evidence, Questioned Documents)
• ImaScope™ Laboratory camera set-up (Fingerprint)
• ImaQuest® Enhancement Software
• IdentQuest™ Comparison Software

Hands-On Workshops:
• Cyanoacrylate Fuming (Unheated and other techniques)
• Basic Yellow dye Staining comparison with UV Dye and Rhodamine
• SPEX Fingerprint Portable Kit/Evidence Packaging Kits/MikroSil/Bluestar
• Digital Photography (FLS & Shortwave UV photography modes, latent palm mode) – Filtering
• Body Fluids, Hair and Fibers (Conditions for searching)
• Ink separation on Forged Documents

DAY 2:
• RUVIS: Reflected UV Systems (Short wave UV Light).
• AFIS-APIS: High accuracy approach for latent search in a finger/palm
database.
• AFIS-APIS RESULTS that speak for themselves.
• Single Search Capability: using AFIS with a Livescan for identity confirmation.

Applications: Use of RUVIS for detecting and photographing fingerprints. AFIS: Latent finger search: Use skeleton full information (Ridge details, not just minutiae points). APIS: Latent palm search: Statistical justifications for collecting all crime scene palms and palm cards from all. Critical cases: How to achieve HIGHER Identification rate in SERIOUS CRIMES cases.

Techniques: Reflected UV Technique (Latent fingerprint and palmprint on non porous surfaces), AFIS Skeleton extraction and manual editing. APIS fast Palm card database creation and latent palm process. LiveScan Digital Card capture.

Demonstrated Systems:
• SceneScope® RUVIS UV Imager (Fingerprint & Blood)
• PrintScope™ Portable Digital Fluorescence Imager (Fingerprint)
• PrintQuest® AFIS-APIS and LIVESCAN Systems

Hands-On Workshops:
• More on Digital Filtering and Capturing
• ImaQuest® demonstration (fingerprint enhancement)
• IdentQuest™ demonstration (case presentation)
• AFIS + APIS Tenprint Card and latent processing

NOTE:
Lunch is provided both days by SPEX Forensics.
