4. Conclusion
It is concluded from the present investigation that silica gel G powder can be used to develop the fingerprint on multicoloured surfaces and give equivalent results as those of the conventional powders. It can provide a good substitute for fingerprint visualization in comparison particularly to other powders, under the instances of scarcity.
