Abstract

An X-ray analyzer includes: an X-ray detector that detects an X-ray emitted from a specimen and outputs a signal having a step that has a height corresponding to energy of the X-ray; a pulse generation circuit that converts the signal output from the X-ray detector into a first pulse signal; a pulse-width setting circuit that sets a pulse width; a pulse-width conversion circuit that converts a pulse width of the first pulse signal into the pulse width set by the pulse-width setting circuit to form a second pulse signal; a pulse-height discriminator that discriminates the second pulse signal according to a pulse height of the second pulse signal; a counting circuit that calculates a counting rate of the discriminated second pulse signal; and a counting-loss correction processing unit that corrects the counting rate. The counting-loss correction processing unit corrects the counting rate based on the pulse width.
