PEACEFUL USES OF NUCLEAR EXPLOSIVES (PLOWSHARE) 27 the methods currently available in the usual crime laboratory (even microscopic samples) can often be successfully analyzed — and char- acterizing bare trace concentrations (parts per million, parts per billion, and even lower) can be accurately determined. For some 75 elements, limits of detection range from as low as 10~ 7 micrograms up to about 5 micrograms. Often, the method can be employed nonde- structively. The film describes in a fascinating but authentic manner a number of studies, based on actual criminal cases (murder, burglary, narcotics peddling) — involving the analysis of such evidence materials as gun- shot residues, hair, paint, and marijuana. One case is followed from crime scene all the way through the trial in court; the other cases through the laboratory investigation.
