Forensics: Fingerprints - Loops, Arches, and Whorls

[@jennifreeman2727]

Wow excellent video! I have been interested in 'Palmistry' for years, & recently the 'fingerprint patterns' which are becoming hugely popular. Adds to the mystery & good stuff! Getting good photos etc is a challenge - I have tried talc, white-out, phone photos, red lipstick but not ink so that'll be next. Also identifying & intertpreting the fingerprints is sometimes hard. I think I have 2 whorls on both thumbs & some loops and arches on other fingers so a mixed bag haha ... the mention in the comments about 'toes'- hilarious! ...

Excellent work Professor Gabrawy. Once again - another incredible creatIon. I’ve watched part 1 and 2... Can’t wait for part 3! I sense a TRILOGY coming soon to a theater near you! Insanely fantastic.

[@kujayasinghe9199]

You should discuss about their characteristics as well.

Hello, do you know how to count ridges on each

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Yes, count the black lines just inside of the deltas but your professor might count differently

My daughter has an X on her finger prints and I have heard it’s extremely rare. Have you seen it before?

[@sciencebygabrawy]

Yes, it’s definitely quite rare! I would say I find an x minutiae in maybe 1 in 1,000 prints. Fun stuff!!

[@parulchoudhary629]

what are true minutia?
