Demystifying Vacuum Metal Deposition

This course is directed to Crime Scene Investigators, Bureaus of Identification, and Forensic Science Laboratory Examiners.

The information will help departments justify the cost of a Vacuum Metal Deposition and demonstrate to the fingerprint industry that VMD has been one of the most sensitive latent print development processes available since 1968.

Researchers and Forensic Examiners will have a better understanding of the importance of the sequential  order of evaporation of metals that develop and enhance latent prints on different types of substrates and will know how to develop prints on porous items while preserving for DNA testing.
