    Thanks for a fun video! A point on the brethalyzer, in some countries the blood alcohol is measured in precentage divided by 10 (‰). 0.5 ‰ is the legal driving limit in many countries. Following drinking, one has to wait a long time (30 min?) before testing with these types of brethalyzers, dont know if you did that? Anyway, as you said, without comparison with a known "good" control you never know.😊

    • @TheScienceDetective

    Decades ago, I worked as a service engineer for one of the major laser manufacturers. Some of my customers were latent print labs, at various law enforcement agencies. They typically used the 514 nm green line from an Argon Ion laser to fluoresce dyes. They would wear goggles, and use filters that completely blocked the 514 nm, while letting the rest of the spectrum through. The effect was similar to black-light, where the dye absorbs at one wavelength, and fluoresces at another, making faint prints much more obvious. One lab had a 20 Watt laser, which even though they expanded the beam (like at 8:00 in this video) to the size of a flashlight spot, was still enough to 'cook' the evidence if they weren't careful (everyone in the lab knew the story about the poor guy who melted a sandwich bag that he was hoping to get prints off of). On an early visit, I had to tell them to be more careful to keep the CA fumes from getting into the laser, because it was fogging their output coupler optic (at $400 a pop), and if it got to the Brewster window that seals the plasma tube, that would cost them over $20k.

    Very cool! There was a great CSI Vegas episode where they find themselves in the sticks without their kits and make do with everyday objects bought at a country drugstore. Superglue featured in there as well as carbon from pencils, but there was more. Would you perhaps be interested in giving your take the methods in this episode? Or do you hate CSI?

    • @TheScienceDetective
      @TheScienceDetective 26 днів тому

      Actually, I know the exact episode you're talking about (Bonesworth used to watch it on reruns when he was in college), and we have discussed replicating this episode to put those methods to the test. I don't watch many of those shows anymore (early in my career, I watched NCIS, Bones, and CSI), but I find myself not watching any police/forensic shows for pleasure (not because I critique it but because I work in the topic every day). When I have time right now, I watch Ghosts, any documentary, or rework my way through Eureka (one of my all-time favorites!!)

I watch cooking shows because people in the industry will talk about them the next day. It’s work, not entertainment. Like you, I watch a lot of documentaries, recently subscribed to Nebula and loving most of it. And about that CSI episode, I would be thrilled if Bonesworth and yourself gave it a shot. But mostly, thanks for your lovely answer!

    I imagine fine abrasives could work quite well, at least temporarily. I do a lot of knife sharpening. I use resin bonded diamond stones a lot. The spots on my fingers that come in regular contact with the stones are totally smooth. It's more like a thin callus though, so it does heal up and go back to normal after a few weeks.

    • @TheScienceDetective
      @TheScienceDetective 26 днів тому

      Yes, we see a lot of worn prints by anyone who has a career working with their hands and rough surfaces (think like masonary, rock work, construction, etc). But as you point out is more like a callus and they will grow back to better definition.

For true crime, absolute favorite is Casefile, but it’s a podcast, not a video. I check Coffeehouse Crime, Jim can’t Swim, Dr. Grande… and tons more really. For kitchen gadgets I like Dan Formosa in the US and Sorted Food in the UK, both hilarious and knowledgeable.
