Abstract: An X-ray analytical apparatus of a wavelength dispersion type having a construction of essential parts improved using a microprobe of ion beam. An ion beam 10 is controlled to be deflected to scan in a fine region of a sample 3, a characteristic X-ray generated by irradiation of the ion beam is subjected spectro-process by a analyzing element 5 set to a predetermined radius of curvature by a curvature changing mechanism, and an X-ray having a specific wavelength selected by the spectro-process is detected by a proportional counter 7. When an angle of the analyzing element is set by a rotational stage to an incident angle of a specific X-ray determined by a detection element on the sample 3, a wide range of wavelength can be subjected to spectro-measured while the sample 3, the analyzing element 5 and the proportional counter 7 remain fixed in position.

Abstract: A charged particle accelerator capable of accelerating arbitrarily charged particles to an arbitrary energy level and resonating at a low frequency suitable for accelerating heavy ions, including quadruple electrodes which are supplied with high frequency power and disposed in the direction of the center axis of a cylinder-shaped container and a resonant circuit having a capacitor and an inductor for supplying a voltage to the quadruple electrodes. The capacitor is composed of a plurality of metallic plates provided along the center axis at specified intervals in the vicinity of the quadruple electrodes, and a plurality of conductive supports supporting the metallic plates which are directly connected to the container together with the supports and the container form the inductor.

Abstract: A converged ion beam apparatus wherein a very small beam spot can be formed with a high energy ion beam after passing a reduced route in which a type of the ion beam is classified. The device is incorporated in an apparatus wherein an ion beam from an accelerator is introduced in a spot to a specimen by way of an ion type classifying device, an objective collimator and a beam collector to perform reforming of a surface or an analysis of physical properties and/or composition or the like of a small area of the specimen. The objective collimator is disposed just on the downstream of the accelerator, and an analyzing component for analyzing an ion type and energy of a beam is interposed in a drift space in an object distance between the objective collimator and a quadruple pole magnetic lens. Several components of the apparatus are also improved including the quadruple pole magnetic lens, an objective slit device and a specimen chamber.
