Abstract: Provided is an observation device and a method of observing capable of clearly obtaining information relating to a boundary part where a medium inside an observation object changes. An observation device (1) is a device for observing an observation object (2) including a sensitivity factor in which a dipole moment changes by sensing an electromagnetic wave (31). An output part (11) outputs the electromagnetic wave (31) and the dipole moment of the sensitivity factor included in the observation object (2) is changed by the electromagnetic wave (31). A detector part (12) detects, of the electromagnetic wave (31) outputted from the output part (11), a signal electromagnetic wave (33) which comes through the observation object (2) and a reference electromagnetic wave (32) which bypasses the observation object (2). A control part (13) analyzes the structure of the observation object (2) based on the detection results of the detection part (12).

Abstract: A reflection surface 12 constituted by a transition metal having a core level absorption edge in the vicinity of a wavelength of a soft X-ray is formed on an inside of a vacuum vessel 14, and furthermore, there is provided a permanent magnet 13 for generating a magnetic field in a perpendicular direction to a longitudinal direction of the vacuum vessel 14 in a position of the reflection surface 12 by which the soft X-ray is to be reflected, and the soft X-ray to be linearly polarized light incident on the vacuum vessel 14 is reflected at plural times over the reflection surface 12 in a position where the magnetic field is applied in such a manner that magnetic scattering is increased by a resonant effect of a magnetic circular dichroism when the soft X-ray is reflected by the reflection surface 12.
