Abstract

The history and present techniques of soft x-ray imaging are reviewed briefly. The physics of x-ray imaging is described, including the temporal and spatial coherence of x-ray sources. Particular technologies described are: contact x-ray microscopy, zone plate imaging, scanned image zone plate microscopy, scanned image reflection microscopy, and soft x-ray holography and diffraction.

Coherent soft x-rays in high resolution imaging

Journal Article Howells, M; Kirz, J - AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)

To illustrate the coherence problems in x-ray imaging we examine -scanning x-ray microscopy -holography, and soft x-ray diffraction as illustrating examples. We show that only x-rays from within the emittance xx'yy'<(2.44l)/sup 2/ have the necessary spatial coherence to yield diffraction-limited images. The degree of temporal coherence required depends on the nature of the imaging system, and the size of the specimen. In conventional x-ray systems, spatial coherence is generated by collimation, while temporal coherence is achieved with monochromators. In these systems, then, one filters out a minute coherent fraction of an intense incoherent beam. Aside from the inefficiency of themore »« less

Soft x-ray imaging with 35 period undulator at the NSLS

Conference Buckley, C; Rarback, H; Alforque, R; ...

Prior to the Phase II shutdown at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) in March 1987, a 10-period mini-undulator was used for soft x-ray imaging on the temporary X-17T beamline for six months. During this brief period we gained considerable experience in the use of undulator radiation for high brightness applications, including the use of high power optics, and position feedback. We commissioned a new scanning microscope using high resolution zone plates, and a fast laser interferometer. The microscope made it possible to study zymogen granules (subcellular structures which play an important role in the secretion of digestive enzymes inmore »« less

Coherent hard x-ray focusing optics and applications

Conference Yun, W; Viccaro, P; Chrzas, J; ...

Coherent hard x-ray beams with a flux exceeding 10{sup 9} photons/second with a bandwidth of 0.1% will be provided by the undulator at the third generation synchrotron radiation sources such as APS, ESRF, and Spring-8. The availability of such high flux coherent x-ray beams offers excellent opportunities for extending the coherence-based techniques developed in the visible and soft x-ray part of the electromagnetic spectrum to the hard x-rays. These x-ray techniques (e.g., diffraction limited microfocusing, holography, interferometry, phase contrast imaging and signal enhancement), may offer substantial advantages over non-coherence-based x-ray techniques currently used. For example, the signal enhancement technique maymore »« less

Soft x-ray microscopy with coherent x rays (invited)

Journal Article Kirz, J; Ade, H; Jacobsen, C; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments; (United States)

The Soft X-ray Undulator beamline at the NSLS supports a soft x-ray imaging program including scanning transmission microscopy, scanning photoemission microscopy, Gabor and Fourier transform holography, and large angle diffraction. Zone plates from an LBL Center for X-ray Optics/IBM collaboration are used as optical elements. The current instrumentation of the beamline and the experimental stations is discussed, along with plans for the future at the NSLS and prospects for imaging programs at third generation sources.
