Abstract
An X-ray fluorescence spectrometer of the present invention includes: a determination module () configured to determine, with respect to every one of measurement lines that correspond to secondary X-rays having intensities to be measured, whether or not a ratio of a theoretical intensity in thin film calculated on the basis of an assumed thickness and known contents of respective components to a theoretical intensity in bulk calculated on the basis of the known contents of the respective components exceeds a predetermined threshold; and a saturation thickness quantification module () configured to, according to a positive determination by the determination module (), calculate a saturation thickness with respect to each of the measurement lines, at which the theoretical intensity saturates, on the basis of the known contents of the respective components and to adopt a largest saturation thickness as a quantitative value of a thickness.
