 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

Lead
Fingerprint powders are fine powders used, in conjunction with fingerprint brushes, by crime scene investigators and other law enforcement personnel to search for and enhance latent/invisible fingerprints.[1][2] This method of fingerprint development, commonly referred to as dusting for fingerprints, involves the adherence of the powder particles to the moisture and sweat secretions deposited on to surfaces by the raised ridges on fingers, palms, or soles of feet designed for grip, called friction ridges.[1][2][3]
Physical development of fingerprints using powders is one of many methods that can be employed to enhance fingerprints; it is typically used to search for fingerprints on large non-porous surfaces that cannot be submitted for chemical development within a laboratory.[3] However, this particular method is best suited for enhancement of freshly deposited fingerprints because the adherence of the powder is diminished when the impression residue has dried.[3]
Fingerprint powders are commonly used because of the versatility associated with this technique; there is a large selection of fingerprint powder compositions that have evolved over time to enable the safe and effective use of fingerprint powders on wide range of backgrounds.[3][4]
