Prints can come in the form of teeth, finger, lip, tire, or shoes. Forensic Scientists use numerous methods of attaining and analyzing them. In Biology II we construct a fingerprint portfolio. We acquire latent prints using fingerprint dust and lifting tape. We also use superglue to do cyanoacrylate fuming. We analyze our families' fingerprints and also our lip prints.
