Abstract
The present invention is intended to achieve an X-ray irradiation region of arbitrary size without enlarging the area of a collimator section. An X-ray analyzer comprises an X-ray generating section for generating primary X-rays, an X-ray detection section for detecting secondary X-rays from a sample, and a collimator section for restricting primary X-rays irradiated to the sample, the collimator section being provided with two X-ray shields having at least one L-shaped edge, the two X-ray shields being aligned so as to form a rectangular or square opening. Mechanisms are provided for moving the two X-ray shields so that the shape and size of the X-ray irradiation region can be changed.
Claims9
An X-ray analyzer comprising:
- an X-ray generating section for generating primary X-rays,
- an X-ray detection section for detecting secondary X-rays from a sample;
- and
- a collimator section for restricting primary X-rays irradiated to the sample, the collimator section being provided with two X-ray shields having at least one L-shaped edge, and the two X-ray shields being aligned so as to form a square opening, to restrict an X-ray irradiation region where a sample is irradiated.
