pulse-height analyzer

pulse-height analyzer

An instrument used for analyzing energy spectra of radial rays by counting voltage pulses output from a radiation detector. The "pulse-height analyzer" counts only the number of pulses falling within certain voltage ranges (channels), where the upper and lower limits of the pulse heights are arbitrarily specified. This analyzer is used to measure characteristic X-rays by EDS.
