on porous surfaces that have been wet, or as a subsequent technique in a development
sequence. It is a multistep technique that works by selectively reducing silver ions to silver
metal at nucleating sites in fingermark residue. Its use is associated with a plethora of
issues, largely surrounding the inherent instability of the working solution. Recently, one of
the components of the working solution, Synperonic N, has ceased production, and the …
