Fingerprint scanner

The fingerprint scanner was a small rectangular device that was able to pick up fingerprints invisible to the naked eye. It was a gadget that was created by MI5's Q'u Branch for the purpose of aiding MI5 agents in the field.

Production
A flat button along the top edge will turn the device on, turning the screen in the center translucent. Holding the device over invisible fingerprints, the prints will be seen on the screen. The scanner emits micro-X-ray fluorescence which reacts with the chemicals left behind by the skin that created the print, thus allowing it's thermal/x-ray image to appear on the scanner's screen.

Behind the scenes
The fingerprint scanner was created by Dubya Scott. The idea of the device was inspired by the thermal mode on the smartphone in the video game 007 Legends.
