Dactyloscopy

Dactyloscopy is the scientific study of fingerprints. It involves analyzing the unique patterns of ridges, loops, and whorls on an individual's fingertips to identify them. Because these patterns are unique to each person and remain largely unchanged over time, dactyloscopy is a valuable tool in forensic investigations and personal identification. The process includes capturing fingerprint images and comparing their intricate details to confirm matches. This technique is reliable and widely used by law enforcement agencies to accurately link individuals to crime scenes, documents, or other evidence.
