This project is an attempt to standardize a technique for ultraviolet (UV) photography of bite marks on human skin. It also deals with a technique for producing clinical bite marks on living human subjects and a review of the equipment, lighting source, scanning technique, filters, films, and recommended camera exposures and film development for reflective UV photographs for bite marks on human skin.
