Optimizing FEG-SEM combined with an SDD EDX system for automated GSR analysis

Gunshot residue (GSR) analysis by scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (SEM/EDX) is routinely performed in forensic science laboratories. At the end of 2011, a field emission gun (FEG)-SEM was installed at the authors’ laboratory for this type of examination. Following the installation of the FEG-SEM, an extensive process was conducted, in
order to determine the optimal operating parameters of this instrument for GSR analysis. Because the nature of synthetic GSR samples Read more
