PURPOSE:To enable highly repeated usage by employing liquid metal as a target then irradiating a beam to produce plasma and feeding the liquid metal synchronously with the beam. CONSTITUTION:A tubing 2 is arranged above a vacuum container 1 then liquid metal such as mercury to be employed as a target is fed from a sump 3. While a Piezo element 10 is provided near the tip of the tubing 2 then it is vibrated to drop the mercury droplet 9 thus to constitute a plasma X-ray generator. Plasma producing beam or laser 8 is irradiated through a light collection lens 6 to the droplet 9 thus to produce X-ray. When selecting the inner diameter of tubing, head h1, vibration, etc. to synchronize production of the droplet and the laser pulse, a system to be used repeatedly where feeding of target material is facilitated can be realized. |
