Electrostatic Dust Print Lifter

    This video contains a way to solve a crime by using the dust print lifter. The Electrostatic Dust printer lifter allows investigators to visual see footprints. The lifter works by placing the right type of material paper with the lifter machine were you are predicting a foot print may be. After placing the machine and the paper, the device will quickly retrieve the dust and form and footprint on the piece of paper. There are different types of paper used, one for metals, carpet, and regular flooring. After the print is made, the investigator and the forensic scientist have little time to further analyse the print, because the print may begin to deteriorate.
