Early Experience with the King’s College — Daresbury X-Ray Microscope

  • Conference paper
Book cover X-Ray Microscopy II

Abstract

Within the last 10 years a number of research groups have developed working x-ray microscopes which use zone plates as high resolution diffractive optical elements and synchrotron radiation to provide the intense monochromatic soft x-ray flux needed to achieve tolerable imaging times. The instruments developed before 1984 were described in a review by KIRZ and RARBACK [1], while more recent progress at the NSLS (Brookhaven, USA), at BESSY (Berlin, FRG) and at the Photon Factory (Japan) is described elsewhere in these proceedings [2]. In this article we shall outline some of the early results obtained with the King’s College—Daresbury scanning transmission x-ray microscope (STXM) during its first experimental run at the Daresbury synchrotron radiation source (SRS) in August–September 1986, immediately prior to the SRS shutdown for the installation of a new high brightness lattice (HBL) source for the electron storage ring.
