Abstract
An aperture member narrows an irradiation range of primary X-rays generated by an X-ray tube. The analysis unit analyzes fluorescent X-rays generated from a sample when the sample is irradiated with the primary X-rays that have passed through the aperture member. The aperture member includes a first opening formed on an incident side of the primary X-rays, a second opening formed on an emission side of the primary X-rays, and a hole formed between the first opening and the second opening to allow the primary X-rays to pass through. The aperture member includes a shielding portion formed on an inner surface of the hole, the shielding portion being formed between the X-ray tube and the peripheral portion of the second opening and on a side outer than a straight line connecting the X-ray tube and the edge portion of the second opening.
