Evaluation of a scanning transmission x-ray microscope using undulator radiation at the SERC Daresbury Laboratory
A scanning transmission x-ray microscope with Fresnel zone-plate focusing optics has been used to form images with monochromatic 400 eV x-rays. In initial experiments on the undulator beamline at the…
A Scanning X-Ray Fluorescence Microprobe with Synchrotron Radiation
A scanning X-ray fluorescence (XRF) microprobe using Wolter type 1 optics was developed, and two-dimensional XRF measurements were carried out using synchrotron radiation up to 10 keV as an…
Development of a scanning x‐ray microprobe with synchrotron radiation
An x‐ray focusing system with two Wolter type one mirrors was developed and used in a synchrotron radiation x‐ray micro analyzer (SRXMA). The SRXMA system and the characteristics of each Wolter…
Quantitative imaging and microanalysis with a scanning soft x-ray microscope.
TLDR
A scanning soft x-ray microscope has been developed that uses synchrotron radiation focused by a Fresnel zone plate to form a submicron beamspot on the specimen to create a quantitative map of specimen absorptivity.
Controlling X-ray beam trajectory with a flexible hollow glass fibre
TLDR
X-ray beam trajectory control has been performed by using a 1.5 m-long flexible hollow glass fibre for X-ray absorption mapping and a two-dimensional scan of a synchrotron radiation beam was demonstrated.
X-ray microscopy of biological objects with carbon kappa and with synchrotron radiation.
X-ray micrographs of biological objects have been obtained with a resolution better than 1000 angstroms by using poly(methyl methacrylate) x-ray resist and carbon Kalpha or synchrotron radiation.…
Hard X-ray nanoprobe scanner
TLDR
A combination of X-ray prisms and advanced reflective mirror optics offer a simple and precise nanoprobe scan that will open new opportunities for microscopicX-ray analyses.
