Survey of gunshot residue analysis in forensic science laboratories

D DeGaetano et al. J Forensic Sci. 1990 Sep.

Abstract

The purpose of this survey was to determine the methods of analysis being used on gunshot residue (GSR) samples in forensic science laboratories across the United States. In addition, the two general techniques of GSR analysis are compared and contrasted. Problems encountered by analysts using scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM/EDX) are discussed.
