To date, most x-ray microscopy studies on polymers have been performed at the carbon K edge with the X1 Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope (X1-STXM) located at the NSLS at BNL. The X1-STEM has a spatial resolution of 50 nm in imaging mode, and can acquire data regarding S/N and energy resolution has been made during the last two years. We show an examples recent spectra acquired with the X1-STXM of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polyarylate (PAR) in Fig. 1.
