In accordance with an embodiment, an analysis apparatus includes a secondary electron optical system, at least one detector, and a composition analysis unit. The secondary electron optical system includes a charged particle beam source and a lens. The charged particle beam source generates a charged particle beam and irradiates a sample with it. The lens controls a focal position and a trajectory of the charged particle beam using an electric field or a magnetic field. The detector detects a characteristic X-ray from the sample. The composition analysis unit analyzes a composition of a material constituting the sample from the detected characteristic X-ray. Each detector is arranged in such a manner that at least part of a detection surface thereof is placed on the same plane as an exit surface of the secondary electron optical system, or placed on the charged particle beam side of the same plane.
