Canadian forensic scientist
Brian E. Dalrymple is a Canadian fingerprint scientist known for introducing the use of lasers (with colleagues Duff and Menzel) as a forensic light source for fingerprints and other evidence detection, using the Argon Ion Lasers to detect the inherent fluorescence of the latent fingerprints and finding fluorescing evidence.[1] That was the beginning of a real revolution in the forensic identification field. Brian Dalrymple also become the first to use this forensic technique on a real case.[2]
