- A center of a loop or whorl pattern
- these cells grow faster than the layers above and below so it collapses and folds to form the shapes of a fingerprint
- On the left hand, this loop pattern opens towards the left
- The maximum number of minutiae found to be shared between two different individuals
- Glands associated with the hands and feet
- A fingerprint pattern in which the ridge pattern originates from one side of the print and leaves from the other side
- These appear white on a fingerprint image
- To be absolutely certain two prints match, they must have this many common minutiae
- Chloride from salt in sweat on a print combines with this to form dark colored prints
- Arch pattern with a spike in the middle
- Number of fingerprints stored in the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System
- On the right hand, this loop pattern opens towards the left
- Super glue fingerprinting method(Reacts with amino acid and forms white prints)
- A fingerprint pattern in which the ridge enters from one side, curves, then exits on the same side
- The combination of details in the shapes and positions of ridges in fingerprints that make each unique; also called ridge characteristics
- A triangular ridge pattern with ridges that go in different directions above and below a triangle; found in all loop and whorl patterns
- A hidden fingerprint made visible through the use of powders or other techniques
- These appear dark on a fingerprint image
- Fuming this chemical causes fingerprints to appear brown then quickly fade
- A fingerprint pattern that resembles a bull's-eye
