In this chapter, visual examination of fingerprints under various lightings (visible, UV, IR) is discussed. The main methods of fingermark development on porous and non-porous surfaces which use fluorescence to optimize the contrast between the fingerprint and its substrate are described. Lastly, miscellaneous and sometimes prospective methods using light and/or fluorescence to reveal fingerprints are broached.
