LOW PEAK COUNTS

LOW PEAK COUNTS

Low Peak counts are one background (continuum) measurement usually below the peak position, although the "low" adjective is strictly relative to the "hi peak" position, so could be above the peak position, but lower than the "hi peak" position.

In Probe for EPMA the "high" peak position is always measured first, following the on-peak measurement, followed by the "low" peak measurement.
