  • Patent number: 10147511
    Abstract: Linear ribs are formed radially with a center at a through-hole on one face of an X-ray transmissive film (radiolucent film) in an X-ray transmissive window (radiolucent window) to be used for an X-ray detector (radiation detector). The X-ray transmissive window faces a sample. A beam for irradiation to the sample passes through the through-hole, and X-rays (radiation) are radially emitted on a line extending through the through-hole and enter the X-ray transmissive window. Since the linear ribs are formed radially with the center at the through-hole, even X-rays entering at shallow angles with respect to the X-ray transmissive window are transmitted through the X-ray transmissive window at a probability equivalent to X-rays entering at deep angles. More X-rays are transmitted through the X-ray transmissive window, and thus the X-ray detector can detect X-rays with high efficiency.

  • Patent number: 9250201
    Abstract: The X-ray analyzer generates a spectrum of X-rays obtained from an area on a sample where the intensity of X-rays whose energy is not included in an already set-up ROI is high and then, from the generated spectrum, identifies a new element for which an ROI is not set up. Further, the X-ray analyzer sets an ROI corresponding to the identified element and then obtains element distribution. The X-ray analyzer repeats generation of an X-ray spectrum, identification of an element, setting of an ROI, and obtaining element distribution. This avoids unintended omission of setting of an ROI and hence permits as-much-as-possible coverage of the elements in the sample. Further, distribution of a trace element is allowed to be obtained rapidly.

  • Patent number: 9170220
    Abstract: The X-ray analyzer repeats scanning of a sample by an electron beam from an electron gun (beam source), detects a characteristic X-ray from the sample by an X-ray detector, generates an element distribution image of the sample by a signal processor every scanning, and stores a plurality of element distribution images in a sequential order. Temporal changes of the element distribution image of the sample are obtained. Moreover, by moving a stage by a moving unit concurrently with the scanning, an element distribution image of the sample where the scanning position is varied is obtained. By generating the element distribution image while varying the scanning position, positioning of the range where the element distribution image is to be obtained on the sample can be quickly performed based on the element distribution image itself.

  • Patent number: 8669534
    Abstract: Provided is an electrostatic lens for charged particle radiation with a lens performance relatively comparable to that of a magnetic type lens. A plurality of electrodes arranged on the incident side of charged particles form a first electric field area, wherein orbit radii of the charged particles are reduced without exceeding, on the way, the initial orbit radii that are orbit radii at the incident time, and a second electric field area, wherein force in the direction advancing in parallel with a central axis is applied to the charged particles that have passed through the first electric field area. A plurality of electrodes arranged on the projection side form a third electric field area, wherein the orbit radii of the charged particles do not exceed the initial orbit radii on the way and are curved to intersect with a central axis at angles larger than orbit angles defined with respect to the central axis of when the charged particles are projected from the second electric field area.
