Abstract

The use of Auger electron spectroscopy as a method in forensic science investigations of fractured incandescent lamps is described. Special emphasis is given to the oxidation of the tungsten filament. The method makes possible an identification of filaments that have been fractured under various conditions.

Keywords:
