A distributor distributes the output signal outputted from the voltage controlled oscillator. A plurality of injection-locked oscillators regulate self-oscillation frequencies according to the above frequency and output signals obtained by frequency-multiplying signals distributed by the distributor. A combiner combines and outputs the signals outputted from the plurality of injection-locked oscillators. This makes it possible to increase output power while preventing an operating band from narrowing.

Abstract: Provided are an X-ray analyzer and a mapping method for an X-ray analysis which, in a inspection for a harmful substance contained in, for example, a material or a composite electronic component, enable determination as to whether a sample is normal or abnormal to be performed visually based on an image obtained by the X-ray mapping analysis. In the X-ray analyzer, an X-ray mapping image of a sample which is confirmed to be normal in advance is obtained as a reference mapping image. A mapping analysis is performed on a inspection sample. A difference from the reference mapping image is obtained for each pixel, to thereby display a difference mapping image. A region in which the amount of specific element is larger than a reference amount is displayed with high brightness, and hence an abnormal portion may be easily found.

A part, which is not fixed at the fixation part, of the fibrous materials of the fiber filter spreads and develops in a tuft shape in sewage. Thus, the surface area of the fiber filter can be increased. Capacity necessary for treatment of the sewage W can be reduced and effectively used. The fiber filter can be easily manufactured due to its simple constitution.
