The latent print laboratory houses three alternative light source dark rooms for latent print enhancement and imaging, as well as two cyanoacrylate fuming chambers. Students gain hands-on experience with the different techniques that are used to process latent prints on evidence collected from a crime scene.
-
The latent print laboratory is the host of various classes such as latent fingerprint and biology of the grave. Latent fingerprint teaches different collection methods and processing techniques of fingerprints. Biology of the grave covers anthropology and entomology with hands-on experience taking place at the Crime Scene Complex.
-
Cyanoacrylate (Superglue) Fuming Chambers are used for developing fingerprints. The superglue is heated up into a vapor to cover the fingerprint with a thin layer aiding in the fingerprint development.
-
An ALS, Alternative Light Source, is used for various purposes in forensic science. In the laboratory, students are taught how to apply the benefits of the ALS to latent fingerprints.
