Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Incident X-ray photons are converted in the scintillator into bursts of visible light photons, some of which fall on the photocathode and can be measured. For incident photons having energies higher than the absorption edge of the elements contained in the scintillator, an escape peak can be observed. 3, record 2, English, - scintillation%20counter
