Aqueous Nile blue: a simple, versatile and safe reagent for the detection of latent fingermarks

Nile blue A in aqueous solution undergoes spontaneous hydrolysis to the photoluminescent compound Nile red. This reagent provides a simple and safe approach to the detection of latent fingermarks on porous and non-porous surfaces.
