    摘要: There is provided a configuration that allows implementation of both photon measurement and current measurement with practical measuring performance and circuit area, where a plurality of detector elements constituting one detector pixel are connected to photon measuring circuits on a one-to-one basis, thereby counting current pulse signals outputted from the detector elements, and a current measuring unit incorporates an integrator, an adder, and a sample-hold circuit provided for every detector pixel, and a converter for converting analogue signals to digital signals, one converter being provided for a plurality of detector pixels. The integrator integrates and the adder adds current pulse signals respectively outputted from the plurality of detector elements constituting one detector pixel, the sample-hold circuit integrates outputs from the adder, and the converter selectively converts analogue outputs from the integration circuit of any of the plurality of detector pixels.

    摘要: Provided is a method for acquiring information relating to a composition of a detected object from results of a measurement, using radiation, this method including: a step for acquiring by a computer a result of measuring the detected object using radiation; a step for estimating by a computer a chemical composition ratio of the detected object, using an equation that contains a value derived from the measurement result as a constant and contains a value derived from the chemical composition ratio of the detected object as a variable, and then solving the equation; and a step for outputting the estimated chemical composition ratio or a physical property value acquired based on the estimated chemical composition ratio as information relating to the composition of the detected object.

    摘要: A method is provided of measuring the mass thickness of a target sample for use in electron microscopy. Reference data are obtained which is representative of the X-rays (28) generated within a reference sample (12) when a particle beam (7) is caused to impinge upon a region (14) of the reference sample (12). The region (14) is of a predetermined thickness of less than 300 nm and has a predetermined composition. The particle beam (7) is caused to impinge upon a region (18) of the target sample (16). The resulting X-rays (29) generated within the target sample (16) are monitored (27) so as to produce monitored data. Output data are then calculated based upon the monitored data and the reference data, the output data including the mass thickness of the region (18) of the target sample (16).

    摘要: According to one embodiment, the X-ray computed tomography apparatus includes an X-ray tube, a rotating frame, a plurality of detector elements, a plurality of DAS elements, switching circuitry, and switching control circuitry. The X-ray tube generates X-rays. The X-ray tube is attached to the rotating frame. The plurality of detector elements detect X-rays. The plurality of DAS elements perform signal processing on output signals from the plurality of detector elements. The switching circuitry is provided between the plurality of detector elements and the plurality of DAS elements. The switching control circuitry controls the switching circuitry to switch the connections between the plurality of detector elements and the plurality of DAS elements for every rotation of the rotating frame at a predetermined angle.
