Abstract
A series of measurements are made in which counting rate is plotted as a function of counter voltage. The counter in this case is an argon/methane gas flow proportional counter. A single plateau is found for a sample of pure sulphur, using the S Kα line, but pure samples of iron and chromium are both found to give a second plateau, again when measuring their Kα lines.
