指尖乾坤(World of Fingerprints)

指紋是刑案現場用來比對可疑犯嫌的重要個人特徵之一，它會遺留在犯罪工具或犯嫌侵入處等位置，藉由增顯出物品表面的指紋，可以供犯罪偵查使用。
 
Fingerprints are one of the important pieces of evidence collected at a crime scene to determine suspects. They are left on weapons and in places criminals have entered. Fingerprints that are lifted off objects are provided for use in criminal investigations.
