Abstract

Raman spectroscopy and Raman imaging technology have demonstrated breakthrough capabilities in the field of fingermark analysis, ranging from chemical component analysis to morphological visualization, by virtue of the specificity of molecular vibration fingermarks and the advantages of non-destructive detection. This paper systematically summarizes the specific applications of Raman spectroscopy and Raman imaging technology in fingermark analysis. On one hand, it comprehensively reviews studies on fingermark component imaging and ridge development from four aspects: high-speed Raman imaging technology, Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) technology, the combined technology of fingermark transfer membranes and SERS, and the integrated technology of conventional development methods and SERS. On the other hand, from the perspective of fingermark chemical information extraction, it introduces applications in the detection of special components (e.g., toxicants, explosives, condom lubricants, and cosmetics) for population characteristic identification, as well as the analysis of conventional components and the inference of fingermark deposition time. Finally, the future development prospects of Raman spectroscopy and Raman imaging technology in fingermark analysis are prospected.

拉曼光谱和拉曼成像在手印分析中的应用研究

拉曼光谱和拉曼成像技术凭借分子振动手印的特异性和无损检测的优势，在从化学成分分析到形态可视化的手印分析领域展现出突破性的能力。本文系统总结了拉曼光谱和拉曼成像技术在手印分析中的具体应用。一方面，从高速拉曼成像技术、表面增强拉曼散射（Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering， SERS）技术、手印转移膜与SERS结合技术、常规显影方法与SERS集成技术四个方面全面综述了手印成分成像与脊状发育的研究。另一方面，从手印化学信息提取的角度，介绍了在特殊成分（如毒物、炸药、避孕套润滑剂、化妆品）的群体特征识别检测中的应用，以及常规成分的分析和手印沉积时间的推断。最后，展望了拉曼光谱和拉曼成像技术在手印分析中的未来发展前景。

期刊介绍： Science & Justice provides a forum to promote communication and publication of original articles, reviews and correspondence on subjects that spark debates within the Forensic Science Community and the criminal justice sector. The journal provides a medium whereby all aspects of applying science to legal proceedings can be debated and progressed. Science & Justice is published six times a year, and will be of interest primarily to practising forensic scientists and their colleagues in related fields. It is chiefly concerned with the publication of formal scientific papers, in keeping with its international learned status, but will not accept any article describing experimentation on animals which does not meet strict ethical standards. Promote communication and informed debate within the Forensic Science Community and the criminal justice sector. To promote the publication of learned and original research findings from all areas of the forensic sciences and by so doing to advance the profession. To promote the publication of case based material by way of case reviews. To promote the publication of conference proceedings which are of interest to the forensic science community. To provide a medium whereby all aspects of applying science to legal proceedings can be debated and progressed. To appeal to all those with an interest in the forensic sciences.
