    An energy dispersive X-ray detector is widely used to measure intensity spectra of characteristic X-rays of component elements in an specimen. In a long-time measurement to obtain a low-noise spectrum, the spatial resolution of X-rays decreases partly due to the radiation of X-rays from the surrounding area larger than the probe size itself, and partly due to the drift of the electron beam and/or of the specimen stage. In a short-time measurement to avoid the above difficulties, the X-ray spectrum contains a much higher-level noise. It has been well known that usual smoothing techniques downgrade the sharpness of the spectrum. In the present study, a Bayesian Based Maximum Entropy Method (BBMEM) is applied to the spectrum obtained in a few seconds, and is proved to be an effective technique to reduce the noise in the spectrum.

    Pulsed ELDOR (Electron Electron Double Resonance) method can detect the dipole interaction directly and determine the distance between radicals. We have used SDSL (Site Directed Spin Labeling) and pulsed ELDOR methods in an attempt to study the structural analysis of the proteins. In this report, we applied for human cardiac TroponinC. We labeled two native cysteine residues (35 Cys and 84 Cys) with MTSSL (methane thiosulfonate spin label) and the distance between these labels was estimated to be 26.0 Å. Furthermore the distance distribution was estimated to be 2.1 Å. Then we prepared a mutant (C35S/G42C). The distance (42 Cys-84 Cys) and distance distribution were estimated to be 19.2 Å and 2.5 Å.

    Successive to the general application of terahertz and far-infrared spectroscopy to various kinds of subjects, properties of synchrotron radiation and the practical application of spectroscopy by synchrotron radiation in these regions are reviewed. Synchrotron radiation in these regions consists of incoherent and coherent components. In this article, the typical experimental subjects of which performance became feasible only by the application of incoherent synchrotron radiation are introduced. They are the change in phonon spectrum due to pressure-induced structural phase transition, far-infrared absorption-reflection spectroscopy, magnetic circular dichroism measurement, and microspectroscopy under high pressure. Finally, the perspective of spectroscopy in these regions based on the rapid development of the technology of the coherent synchrotron radiation is described.
