MultiScan: Palms
Palm-print Livescans are the most advanced and feature rich Livescans and exclusively used by Law Enforcement agencies around the world. Having to cope with strict forensic procedures like matching so-called partial prints left at a crime scene, Palm-Livescans like the MultiScan527 or the MultiScan527g need to be able to acquire all parts of a hand, including fingerprints, fingertips, whole fingers and the whole palm divided in upper/lower palm, writer’s palm (hypothenar) and ball of palm (thenar). Besides upper/lower palm impressions, all others need to be acquired in flat and rolled acquisition mode.
Standard acquisition types are the following;
- Single fingers flat and rolled
- 4-slaps, 2-thumbs
- Upper and lower palm
- Writer’s palm
In addition to the standard acquisition types there are the so-called supplemental- or major case prints to be acquired, which consist of:
- Full finger flat and rolled; rolls need to be horizontally (nail-2-nail) and vertically (up to the top-end of the fingertips)
- Fingertips rolled
- Ball of Palms (Thenars) flat and rolled
- Writer’s Palm (Hypothenar) rolled
The MultiScan527 is the first Palm-Livescan EVER to acquire ALL of the aforementioned impressions and as such is not only FBI IQS App. F certified but in fact, for the first time in the history of Livescan certifications, FBI IQS App. P compliant
