In this video, our SEM specialist guides viewers through the analysis of gunshot residue (GSR) – the microscopic debris left behind by a discharged firearm — using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) paired with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Learn how to operate the Phenom GSR ParticleX system to set up an automated run where potential GSR particles are detected, characterized, and classified using SEM/EDS. Gain insight into how the software works by seeing features in action such as recipe building and customizable reporting. This provides an overview of streamlining firearm evidence examination by leveraging the power of Phenom GSR ParticleX.
