# McCrone Labs Analysis 2017

Thomas G. Kaye, Cooper Research Team, 2017. _citizensleuths.com_.

Describes the automated SEM scan by McCrone Associates of more than 100,000 particles on 20 sticky-tape stubs from the tie, funded by a television production in 2016, and lists notable finds (cerium, cerium-lanthanum, yttrium, strontium sulfide, barium sulfate, potassium chlorate, antimony sulfide, mercury sulfide, bismuth chloride). Four Excel files of element counts per stub are linked.
