The spatial resolution of the modern X-ray and neutron detectors is due to emission of secondary particles. For fast X-rays (E = 20 keV) this limit is connected with a range of secondary electrons and usually resolution is 20 microns; for neutrons--limit is connected with a range of {alpha}-particles and a resolution is 50 microns. It was shown that polycapillary Kumakhov optics can avoid this limit. The authors have carried out experiments on realization of this idea.
