Radial Loop (Right Thumb) Loop opens toward the left or the radial bone. Delta Ulnar Loop (Right Thumb) Loop opens toward right or the ulna bone. These patterns are named for their positions related to the radius and ulna bones. Loops -have 1 delta and 1 or more ridges that enter and leave on the same side. Arches -simplest type of fingerprints formed by ridges that enter on one side of the print and exit on the other. Tented Arches Similar to the plain arch, but has a spike in the center. Spike or “tent” Plain Arch Ridges enter on one side & exit on the other side. **The area between the delta and the core must be completely recorded. Delta: triangulation or a dividing of the ridges.Each of the three pattern types have focal points which are used for classification:.
Pores are present on the top layer releasing sweat and oil – this can be transferred to a surface when touched leaving an invisible impression – latent fingerprintsĪrch Plain arch Tented arch Loop Radial Loop Ulnar loop Whorl Plain whorl Central pocket whorl Double loop whorl Accidentical FingerprintClasses There are 3 specific classes for allfingerprints based upon their visual pattern: ARCHES, LOOPS, AND WHORLS.
