AB  - Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry was applied in forensic research 
      for characterization, visualization and analysis of fingerprints left after the 
      fingers were contaminated by traces of drugs: amphetamine (AF), methamphetamine 
      (MA) and methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA; ecstasy). Experimental work was 
      carried out using four kinds of bases (steel, aluminium, brass and glass) on 
      which fingerprints were imprinted. The results of our preliminary studies have 
      demonstrated that the ToF-SIMS technique can be a powerful tool in chemical 
      investigations of fingerprints and detection of traces of substances, which do 
      not exist in natural skin extraction, but can be found at the crime scene.
