Abstract

Provided is an X-ray topography apparatus capable of separating a desired characteristic X-ray which enters a sample from an X-ray which is radiated from an X-ray source, and increasing an irradiation region of the desired characteristic X-ray. The X-ray topography apparatus includes: the X-ray source for radiating the X-ray from a fine focal point, the X-ray containing a predetermined characteristic X-ray; an optical system including a multilayer mirror with a graded multilayer spacing which corresponds to the predetermined characteristic X-ray, the optical system being configured to cause the X-ray reflected on the multilayer mirror to enter the sample; and an X-ray detector for detecting a diffracted X-ray. The multilayer mirror includes a curved reflective surface having a parabolic cross section, and the fine focal point of the X-ray source is provided onto a focal point of the curved reflective surface.
