Poprawa czytelności linii papilarnych opuszek palców zwłok przy wykorzystaniu Ardroksu i tuszu do stempli

Abstract

Fingerprinting of corpses is more difficult than fingerprinting of living people. The level of difficulty of fingerprinting the fingertips depends on the condition of the corpse. Despite a variety of known methods of skin elastification and improvement of readability of fingerprints, better and more effective methods providing higher level of identification corpses are being sought. This publication presents the course and results of the analysis involving the potential use of Ardrox and stamp ink to improve the readability of fingerprints of corpses in various condition. The above methods were compared to the standard techniques used in forensic examination — black fingerprint ink and English soot. Obtained findings point to both methods as being highly effective in improving the readability of the fingerprints of corpses.
