TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Electrostatic Dust Print Lifter
Catalog No. ESP900
Information
One of the most overlooked forms of physical evidence at the crime scene is impression evidence. Locating
and recovering obvious kinds of impression evidence like tire tracks and
footprints is not the problem. It’s the not-so-obvious dust print impres-
sions that are difficult to locate, accidentally damaged or obliterated. The
Electrostatic Dust Print Lifter is designed specifically for lifting these
dust prints from almost any surface from the floor, door, wall or win-
dowsill to upholstered furniture using static electricity. High voltage is
applied to a metallized lifting mat creating a negative charge
and causing the ground plane to become positively charged.
Any dust present under the mat will take on a positive charge,
attracting it to the negatively charged mat.
The resulting dust print lifted will be a pre-
cise mirrored image of the original print.
