Researchers at Curtin University, in collaboration with scientists at the infra-red (IR) beamline at the Australian Synchrotron, have been using synchrotron IR microscopy to investigate the chemistry of latent fingermarks and how this changes with time. Fingermarks from donors of different age and gender were deposited on gold-plated glass and subjected to IR analysis at regular intervals over a period of 12 months.
