The Spectral analyzer[1] was a device used by the Ghostbusters to analyze photographs and determine whether there was a living presence in them. It worked using ionizing radiation such as x-rays, as Röentgens were a unit on the device.[2]
History[]
Ray Stantz and Egon Spengler used the device to examine photographs taken by Peter Venkman of the Vigo painting. Egon saw the presence of Multi-Planar Kirlian Emanations. Ray fed one of the wider shots into the analyzer and Egon adjusted it to a high Röntgen setting. After the analyzer completed its analysis, the photograph now revealed the River of Slime and Vigo as a giant floating head.[3]
