Abstract: In an analyzer, an image processing unit performs processing of: dividing a measurement image into a plurality of partial measurement images, and dividing a reference image into a plurality of partial reference images; calculating a positional deviation amount of each of the partial measurement images relative to a corresponding partial reference image among the partial reference images; determining whether the positional deviation amount is a threshold or less; and correcting positional deviation of the measurement image based on the positional deviation amounts of the plurality of partial measurement images when the image processing unit has determined that the positional deviation amount is not the threshold or less.

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.

Abstract: A vacuum apparatus equipped with an automatic transport mechanism for transporting a specimen and a sensor for detecting a state of the vacuum apparatus includes: a determining unit which determines whether a recoverable error has occurred based on a signal from the sensor; and a display control unit which causes, when it is determined that a recoverable error has occurred, a display unit to display a procedure of a recovery operation in a wizard format. The display control unit determines whether the recovery operation has been performed according to the procedure displayed on the display unit based on a signal from the sensor, and causes the display unit to display a next procedure of the recovery operation when it is determined that the recovery operation has been performed according to the procedure.
