Oh, I forgot about this...

Why does luminol show blood under blue light?

 

[never_a_promise]

Luminol has chemiluminescent properties that react with the iron contained in hemoglobin and turn it blue even on contact with trace amounts.

[draig_goch]

I feelt all powerfullfor a second then when I got to decide who got it right.
I hate having a technicality to allmaple, again sorry

 

[ThumpyG]

HI all! When I saw allmaples answer, I thought that the phalanges were also on the toes (16 weeks of forensic anthropology will do that to you!) and thought that I might be wrong, but took a chance...

Since I get to demonstrate blood spatter in my next forensic's class on Sat, next question is this:
