PreamplifierPreamplifier
The pulses produced in the detector are The pulses produced in the detector are
very small and so the charge sensitive very small and so the charge sensitive
preamplifier, usually a field-effect transistor preamplifier, usually a field-effect transistor
(FET), is mounted as close to the detector (FET), is mounted as close to the detector
as possibleas possible

AmplifierAmplifier
The amplifier increases the size of the The amplifier increases the size of the small signal from the output of the small signal from the output of the preamplifier to a pulse of amplitude up to preamplifier to a pulse of amplitude up to about 10 V, dependent on the gain settingabout 10 V, dependent on the gain setting
The second purpose of the amplifier is to The second purpose of the amplifier is to improve the signal to noise ratio of the improve the signal to noise ratio of the given pulsesgiven pulses
