Abstract
Pinch plasmas are sources of high brilliance for soft x-rays in the wavelength range from λ = 0.1 nm to 20 nm. A plasma focus device emitting line radiation of hydrogen-like nitrogen (N VII) at λ = 2.5 nm into the water window region has been developed as a source for a laboratory imaging x-ray microscope. Several diagnostic methods are applied to measure and maximize the brilliance of the line emission of the source. With an x-ray optic developed at Göttingen pictures with 0.1–0.2 µm lateral resolution have been taken.
