Designed and manufactured by Foster + Freeman, the TFD-2 marks a breakthrough in the detection and enhancement of latent fingerprints using non-destructive thermal development.
The first of its kind, the TFD-2 is an automated, high-throughput device capable of developing fingerprints on large quantities of documents, dramatically reducing examination time and manpower requirements.
The simple process of heating a document to an optimum temperature induces a chemical reaction between the latent fingerprint and the paper to produce a fluorescent by-product that is visible under intense blue or blue/green illumination when viewed through an appropriate filter.
Controls maintain the optimum heating temperature and carriage speed to ensure that documents are undamaged. Developed fingerprints remain visible for more than 2 years.

Non-destructive thermal development is effective on a wide range of paper types and has been used successfully to visualize latent fingerprints on banknotes, office paper, white and brown paper envelopes, newspaper, notepaper, thermal receipts etc.
Accessories to aid fingerprint enhancement in the laboratory and at the crime scene.

Although the fumes produced when heating paper/ink are minimal, some laboratories may require external venting. This fume extraction hood and hose simply attaches to the top of the TFD-2 and draws all fumes away from the working environment.
A protective carrying case with retractable handle and wheels allows the TFD-2 to be easily transported to the crime scene.
A complete kit for the development and capture of latent fingerprints at the crime scene.
