When lifting footwear impressions in dry dust, an electrostatic dust lifter can be an appropriate method. It uses an electrically charged plastic film placed over the impression to create an electrostatic force that transfers dry dust and residue from the surface onto the film.

In crime scene investigations involving fingerprints, major case prints provide comprehensive reference impressions of the friction-ridge detail on the hands.

They include the fingers, fingertips, sides and lower joints of the fingers, as well as the palms and their edges.
