    promptly. The elements range that can be measured is from sodium (Na) to uranium (U). Liquid-nitrogen cooling for the high performance detector is needed only during the analyzing time. The vacuum and atmosphere are switched to the measurement atmosphere by the one button operation. When X-rays (primary X-rays) are illuminated from the X-ray tube to the specimen, fluorescence X-rays having wavelengths (energies) peculiar to the constituent elements of the specimen are produced from the elements. There
