Development of a Cryo Scanning Transmission X-Ray Microscope at the NSLS

  • Chapter
X-Ray Microscopy and Spectromicroscopy

Abstract

We have developed a cryo Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope at the X1A beamline at the NSLS. The system is designed to image hydrated biological objects of a thickness of several micrometers at temperatures of around 110 K at a resolution of ultimately 30 nm or less. A description of the setup of the cryo-STXM is given. We have started to commission the system and present some results, including first images of biological samples.
