Comment: Barium (red) and lead (yellow) mapping of a gunshot residue (Lα1 X-ray fluorescence lines). Barium compounds have a higher boiling/melting point than lead compounds, which is why lead is deposited on the surface of barium-rich particles. A shell-like structure of the fume particles is ideal.
