Pulse amplitude analyser

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009669",
  "term": "Pulse amplitude analyser",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An electronic instrument designed to measure and sort electrical pulses according to their amplitude. It receives signals from radiation detectors and categorizes them into different channels based on their voltage height. This device is commonly used in nuclear spectroscopy to determine the energy distribution of detected radiation.",
