Abstract
A portable fingerprint development system having a container and a base plate. The container includes a plurality of joined walls that present an opening and a rim surrounding the opening. The base plate has opposed first and second surfaces. The first surface mounts a heater that is operable to heat a fingerprint development material. The base plate is moveable between a transport position, in which the first surface is adjacent the container's rim and the heater is positioned within the container, and an operation position, in which the second surface is adjacent the container's rim to enclose an interior volume defined by the container's walls and the base plate. Preferably, an exhaust system is mounted on the first surface of the base plate for removing and/or filtering fumes within the container.
