Abstract

In order to provide a charged-particle radiation apparatus capable of evaluating and distinguishing the analysis position in a sample subjected to X-ray analysis in the stage before performing X-ray elemental analysis, and also making it possible for an analyst to perform, in a short period of time and without reworking, analysis for which high reliability is ensured, the present invention provides a charged-particle radiation apparatus provided with an X-ray detector, wherein a first back scattered electron detector (15) on the same axis as the X-ray detection surface of the X-ray detector (12 (25-30)) is disposed integrally with or independently from the X-ray detector (12), an X-ray signal being detected by the X-ray detector (12) simultaneously with or separately from detection of a back scattered electron signal by the first back scattered electron detector (15).
