A fingerprint of a dog is a pawprint.
It is called 'Dermatoglyphics'
The circles of a fingerprint are called whorls.
Those folks are called fingerprint examiners or fingerprint analysts. They spend their days scrutinizing those unique swirls and ridges on your fingertips to help solve crimes or identify individuals. So next time you're watching a crime show, give a little nod to those fingerprint wizards doing their thing behind the scenes.
Fingerprint matches are determined by comparing the unique patterns of ridges, loops, and whorls on a fingerprint found at a crime scene with a known fingerprint in a database. Experts analyze these patterns to see if there is a sufficient level of similarity and agreement between the two prints to establish a match. This process, called automated fingerprint identification, is highly accurate and widely used in forensic investigations.
Points on a fingerprint where ridge characteristics change are called minutiae. These include ridge endings, where a ridge terminates, and bifurcations, where a ridge splits into two branches. Minutiae are used for fingerprint matching and identification.
A finger scanner is commonly referred to as a fingerprint scanner or fingerprint reader. This biometric device captures and analyzes the unique patterns of ridges and valleys in a person's fingerprint for identification or authentication purposes. Fingerprint scanners are widely used in security systems, mobile devices, and various access control applications.
a pack of dogs is called a kennel
Everyone has a different design on their fingers and you have natural oil, also called sebrum, on your skin so a fingerprint is the oil left on what you touched in the design of your unique finger.
Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)
fingerprint spray is better than iodine because iodine can smudge the fingerprint but the fingerprint makes it clear.
The same reason people are called adults and babies
The delta of a fingerprint is a pattern that occurs when the ridges of the fingerprint split to form branches. These branches are usually located at specific points within the fingerprint and can be used in fingerprint analysis for identification purposes.
