British scientists develop new method to track even removed fingerprints

LONDON, June 2 (Xinhua) -- British forensic scientists have developed a method that could be used to track fingerprints even after the print itself has been removed, the science news website of Alpha Galileo reported on Monday.

    The method of taking fingerprints from a crime scene, developed by forensic scientists at the Forensic Research Center at the University of Leicester and the Northamptonshire Police's scientific support unit, enables scientists to "visualize fingerprints" even after the print itself has been removed, the report said.
