Abstract

X-ray microscopy with zone plates as x-ray imaging elements and synchrotron radiation was started by our group in 1976 at the Deutsches Elektronensynchrotron (DESY), Hamburg [20.1]. This prototype x-ray microscope was equipped with a grazing incidence grating monochromator, a condenser zone plate, and a micro-zone-plate. The grating was a 100 mm laminar grating with 600 1/mm holographically made in our optical laboratory [20.2]. The zone plates resulted from early holographic work using commercially available optics for zone plate construction [20.1,3,4]. The obtained resolution was 200 nm [20.5].
