Abstract:
1. An X-ray analysis apparatus comprising: X-ray radiation means for irradiating a sample with X-rays; X-ray detecting means for detecting X-ray emission from the sample; means for allowing the X-ray detecting means to perform scanning operation for changing the angle of the X-ray detecting means with respect to the sample; and image control means for displaying information related to X-ray intensity detected by the X-ray detecting means and information related to a scanning angle of the X-ray detecting means as a 3D image, wherein the image control means display a 3D image simultaneously with the scanning operation of the X-ray detecting means, the image control means starts displaying the 3D image before completion of scanning of the X-ray detecting means, the image control means gradually displays the 3D image in synchronization with the scanning operation of the X-ray detecting means.
