Dactyloscopy

|
Dactyloscopy is a technique used to compare fingerprints, typically those found at the setting of a crime and those of a suspect. Due to the uniqueness of the fingers' and hands' papillar lines, it is generally considered to be a reliable method of identifying a person.
Juan Vucetich perfected dactiloscopy in late 19th and early 20th century.
