  • Fingerprint goggles
    Patent number: 8272343
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for developing latent fingerprints having a heat source and sublimation system wherein the sublimation system is in communication with the heat source. Upon activating the heat source, the heat transforms a cyanoacrylate and a sublimation dye of the sublimation system into vapor. The vapor contacts an object to reveal any latent fingerprints on the object. A light source excites the sublimation dye causing photoluminescent emissions which are viewed through filter goggles.
