For reference, as is well known, if the sample has a curved surface, or if it is a very small precision component, the accuracy of analysis can be improved by reducing the irradiation range of X-rays.
However, when the irradiation range of the X-ray is reduced, the intensity of the X-ray decreases in proportion thereto. Therefore, conventionally, it has been difficult to reduce the irradiation range of the X-ray to 1 mm or less. However, in the case of the X- The X-ray generating

The step S120 is performed by the
In step S120, the sample is irradiated with X-rays for 5 seconds, and fluorescent X-rays generated from the sample are detected. At this time, a voltage of 5 Kv and a current of 900 uA are supplied to the X- And the fluorescent X-rays emitted from the sample are received by the detecting
When the X-ray having the maximum value is irradiated onto the sample, the value received by the detector varies depending on the type of the sample. This is related to the kind and shape of the sample. For example, when X-rays are irradiated to a weak material such as a hard metal such as titanium (Ti) and a weak material such as titanium (Ti) There is a difference.
Therefore, the user has to set the intensity of X-ray according to the matrix. It is not easy to control the intensity of X-ray according to the medium, since the PE series is very various such as LDPE, ABS, PVC, PT and PP.
Also, if there is a step like a screw, or a product with a transparent material, the amount of X-ray will not be accepted even if the same medium is used. Therefore, it is necessary to give more X-ray dose and longer analysis time.
In the meantime, the present invention provides a value that is received by a detection unit and appears in an analysis unit through an

In step S150, the X-ray dose received for 5 seconds by the detector is calculated per 1 second for each medium, and the X-ray dose (intensity) is automatically adjusted.
That is, the X-ray fluorescence analyzer and the X-ray fluorescence analysis method according to the present invention detect the amount received by the
In step S110 through step S130, the kind of the sample is preliminarily analyzed. In step S140 and step S150, the element of the sample is precisely analyzed. After performing the precise analysis after the preliminary analysis, , It is possible to eliminate the error caused by the mistake of the user and make it possible to analyze even when the user does not know the kind of the element of the sample accurately.
For reference, the conventional X-ray fluorescence analyzer uses an ultra-small CCD camera to confirm the image of the irradiated portion through a PC, and analyzes the sample according to a circular target on a PC image. However, since the position of one of the X-ray generating part and the detecting part is shifted during transportation for a long period of time in the environment (vibration and the like) during transportation, the part to be actually inspected and the circular target on the PC often turn out.
Particularly, when using a very small irradiation diameter of 0.5 mm, there is a problem in this part. Since the X-ray can not be seen by the human eye, when the fluorescent film is placed at the sample position, do.
Accordingly, a method of fixing the fluorescent film to an automatic stage for moving the sample stage, periodically matching the PC image target with the actual X-ray can be used. In order to match the PC image target with the actual X-ray, Can be used.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims and their equivalents. Of course, such modifications are within the scope of the claims.
