Abstract
There is provided an analytical method capable of generating a high resolution spectrum of X-rays with an intended energy. The analytical method is for use in an analytical apparatus having a diffraction grating for spectrally dispersing X-rays emanating from a sample, an image sensor for detecting the spectrally dispersed X-rays, and an incident angle control mechanism for controlling the incident angle of X-rays impinging on the diffraction grating. The image sensor has a plurality of photosensitive elements arranged in the direction of energy dispersion. The analytical method starts with specifying an energy of X-rays to be acquired. The incident angle is adjusted based on the specified energy to bring the focal plane of the diffraction grating into positional coincidence with those one or ones of the photosensitive elements which detect X-rays having the specified energy.
