The tallest peak set to one hundred.
Also known as: Relative intensity scaling, Normalised spectrum convention
The mass spectrometry convention scaling a spectrum so its tallest peak is given a relative intensity of one hundred.
Scales a mass spectrum so its tallest peak has a relative intensity of one hundred.
Contexts: Laboratory
Makes every intensity relative, so two spectra of the same compound taken on different instruments are directly comparable and neither carries an absolute quantity.
Contexts: Laboratory
A vertical line taller than all the others in the spectrum, its height labelled as one hundred with all others expressed against it.
