Abstract: An X-ray analysis apparatus includes: an X-ray radiation unit that irradiates a sample with X-ray; an X-ray detection unit that detects X-ray emission from the sample; a unit that allows the X-ray detection unit to perform scanning operation for changing the angle of the X-ray detection unit with respect to the sample; and an image controller that displays information related to X-ray intensity detected by the X-ray detection unit and information related to a scanning angle of the X-ray detection unit as a 3D image. The image controller displays the 3D image simultaneously with the scanning operation of the X-ray detection unit. Further, simultaneously with the scanning operation of the X-ray detection unit, two or all of 1D, 2D, and 3D images are displayed in one screen. A measurement result starts being displayed as a 3D image before information related to all measurement results has been obtained.

Abstract: The scattering vector of X-ray diffraction is dynamically displayed on a screen. A dynamic motion and tracks of the tip location of the scattering vector of X-ray diffraction is displayed two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally under changing measuring conditions on a screen which represents the reciprocal space of a sample crystal. The tip location of the scattering vector can be seen dynamically and the X-ray diffraction phenomenon under changing measuring conditions can be readily understood, effecting easy consideration of the measuring conditions and easy evaluation of the measured results.
