Imprint analysis

Imprint analysis is a technique used to examine patterns or residues left by a process or material, helping identify its origin or history. In manufacturing or forensic contexts, it involves studying marks, textures, or signals that remain on a surface or within a sample to understand how something was created or used. For example, in electronics, it can reveal how a device was assembled or modified. Overall, imprint analysis provides insights into the past steps or conditions associated with an object, aiding in quality control, troubleshooting, or investigative efforts.
