This is done on fingers or palms to decide whether the impersonations are from the same palm . The suppleness of rubbing crest skin implies that no fingers or palms will turn out to be exactly the same . This happens when an expert decides that two rubbing crest impersonations came from similar finger or palm to the omission of all others . There are diverse types of fingerprints The latent prints are hidden according to the modern usage for forensic science . Electronic , chemical and physical dispensation methods allow these hidden latent prints to be visible latent print deposit (Abel 2007

Patent prints are rubbing crest impersonations whose origins are not known but are clear to human eye . These are caused by transmission of alien material on the finger onto a surface . Due to their visibility they...
