Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the options listed are tools or techniques used to visualize subtle bodily fluid stains. Luminol is a chemical that reacts with the iron in blood to produce a blue glow, making blood stains visible in dark conditions. UV light sources can help visualize fluids like semen, saliva, and urine that may not be visible to the naked eye. Orange filtered glasses are used in conjunction with UV light to enhance the visibility of these stains. Acid phosphatase and prostate-specific antigens are biochemical markers used to identify semen.
