SEM micrograph recorded in BSE mode showing a unique morphology ("flakes and flowers") of uranium-containing aerosol particles from a cyclone sampler from perforation of a Bradley vehicle by (or with) a depleted uranium penetrator through conventional armor. See article by Krupka et al. on page 276 for more information.
