Abstract
Ninhydrin is a common reagent for latent fingerprint detection on porous surfaces, and water in the form of humidity is an essential factor in the developing process. Beside climatic chambers running on electricity, the required humidity can also be reached by using saturated salt solution. The infl...

Abstract
The sensitivity of DFO (1,8-diazafluoren-9-one), a substance known since 1989, is clearly superior to that of ninhydrin for the visualization of latent fingerprints. Nevertheless DFO has not replaced ninhydrin in Germany up to now. One reason is its unreliability. The DFO working solutions commonly...
