Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Latent fingerprints are not readily visible and require special techniques like dusting, fuming, or chemical treatments to reveal the ridge detail. Therefore, this type of fingerprint is the one to be sought after in the investigation. Patent fingerprints are visible to the naked eye, and plastic fingerprints are left in a 3D impression (like in soft wax or clay) and are not relevant to this scenario.
