The various fine dusts used in detecting fingerprints, are chosen such that they will adhere to the oils present in the fingerprints. It is brushed on to the target surface with a brush made of fine hair. This tool should not apply a force that would destroy or distort the fingerprint.
In the field, the print, after demonstration, is lifted on adhesive tape, and this 'replica' is what is examined.

The elements of a fingerprint that are chosen to analyze are distinct features, such as bifurcations, loops, whorls and similar. These will be counted and their position determined with relation to other features.
