Answer:

A device called the Reflected Ultraviolet Imaging System (RUVIS) aims UV light at areas where fingerprints may be. If a latent fingerprint is there, it will reflect the light back under the UV light. Once discovered, it can be processed using an approved method.

Or they use a certain powder or oil
