Abstract:
Provided is an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, which has a simple structure, and is capable of promptly performing high-accuracy analysis. The X-ray fluorescence spectrometer according to the present invention includes: an X-ray source (100) configured to irradiate a sample (103) with primary X-rays; a spectroscopic device (120) configured to disperse secondary X-rays emitted from the sample (103); an energy-dispersive detector (110) configured to measure an intensity of the secondary X-rays; a retracting mechanism (108) configured to retract the spectroscopic device (120) from a path of the secondary X-rays; a scanning mechanism (114), which is configured to continuously move the detector (110) between an auxiliary measurement area (124) for measuring the secondary X-rays in a state where the spectroscopic device (120) is retracted and a main measurement area (122) for measuring the dispersed secondary X-rays; a storage device (116) configured to store, in advance, a ratio between a background intensity measured in the auxiliary measurement area (124) and a background intensity measured in the main measurement area (122); and an arithmetic device (118) configured to perform correction and quantitative analysis, the correction including subtracting a value, which is obtained by multiplying the background intensity in the auxiliary measurement area (124) by the ratio, from a measured intensity in the main measurement area (122).
