Table 10 Mean angle between center-to-center lengths, standard deviation (S. D.), and % coefficient of variation (% C.V.) of four pores, taken from fingerprints obtained from the right index finger of four individuals on sticky side of adhesive tape (using method described in (ii)), recorded on ten consecutive days, show % C. V. to be within the normal acceptable level (with 5% confidence level in analytical work)
