Within this section, complex examinations are performed on evidence items utilizing appropriate techniques including the use of powders, chemicals, high intensity light sources (visible, laser, ultraviolet and infrared), cameras, lenses, film, and other laboratory equipment. Such examinations may include: latent fingerprint\/palm print enhancement, comparison, and identification, digital photography of evidence, and use of computer software to analyze and compare print impressions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"857\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riscl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2204\/latent3-857x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riscl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2204\/latent3-857x1024.jpg 857w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riscl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2204\/latent3-251x300.jpg 251w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riscl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2204\/latent3-768x917.jpg 768w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riscl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2204\/latent3-364x435.jpg 364w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riscl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2204\/latent3-500x597.jpg 500w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/riscl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2204\/latent3.jpg 942w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 857px) 100vw, 857px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Latent print examination results are interpreted and evaluated to determine their validity, scientific significance, and evidentiary value to provide the most information possible.
