    摘要: An extreme ultraviolet light source apparatus in which only particles having a high transmittance for EUV light adhere to an EUV collector mirror even if fast ions emitted from plasma collide with a structural member in a vacuum chamber, and thereby, the reflectance thereof is not easily degraded. The apparatus includes: a vacuum chamber; a target supply unit for supplying a target to a predetermined position in the vacuum chamber; a driver laser for applying a laser beam to the target to generate the plasma; a collector mirror for collecting and outputting extreme ultraviolet light emitted from the plasma; a collector mirror holder for supporting the collector mirror; and a shielding member formed of a material having a high transmittance for the extreme ultraviolet light, for shielding the structural member such as the collector mirror holder from the ions generated from the plasma.

    摘要: Radioactive materials can be safely analyzed by an emission spectroscopic analyzer comprising an exciting device for exciting a radioactive material to be analyzed to emit light. The exciting device is enclosed in a radiation shielding wall. A detecting device detects the emitted light. The detecting device is located outside the radiation shielding wall. A light-transmitting device is provided between the exciting device and the detecting device such that the emitted light impinging on a first end of the light-transmitting device will be received at the detecting device as light having been transmitted through the light-transmitting device and emitted from a second end of the light-transmitting device. The light-transmitting device penetrates a hole made in the radiation shielding wall which has a sealing structure to prevent radiation leakage. The light-transmitting device penetrates the hole with a curvature. A lens system is attached to the second end of the light-transmitting device to permit visual observation of the emitted light therethrough. A fine adjustment device adjusts the position of the first end of the light-transmitting device in relation to the emitted light from the material to be analyzed.
