Abstract
In order provide an energy dispersive X-ray analyzer that can perform efficient measurement by optimizing signal processing time of an X-ray counting section, an energy dispersive X-ray analyzer is provided with an energy dispersive X-ray detector, an X-ray counting section for analyzing the signal from the energy dispersive X-ray detector and generating a frequency distribution for each energy level, namely an energy spectrum, and a data control section for performing data processing, user interface etc. The X-ray counting section of the energy dispersive X-ray analyzer has signal processing methods with different processing times for a single X-ray input, and a function for selecting which method result to make use of using input X-ray energy.
