Quick Answers to Your Questions
About Using the Spectrometer
This chapter answers some common questions about using the
spectrometer. Each answer is followed by a reference telling you
where to go for more information.
Do I need to use an energy screen with my detector?
If you are using a highly sensitive detector such as an MCT-A
detector and your experiment deals with information from a broad
range of frequencies, you may wish to use an energy screen to
prevent the detector from becoming saturated or producing a
distorted signal.

Do I need to use a bandwidth-limiting filter?
If you are using a highly sensitive detector such as an MCT-A
detector and your experiment deals with information in a narrow
range of frequencies, a bandwidth-limiting filter can prevent the
detector from becoming saturated or producing a distorted signal.
Bandwidth-limiting filters improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the
data and also prevent detector saturation by allowing only energy in
the particular area of interest to pass to the detector element. If you
wish to use a bandwidth-limiting filter, you must supply your own.
