Development of Soft X-ray contact-type microscope and application to micro-spectroscopy in water-window

Abstract

A contact-type microscope for the observation of organelles in a culture solution is fabricated with the use of a scintillator plate which shows high quantum efficiency and linearity in Water-window wavelength region. The fabricated microscope was applied to micro -spectroscopy, and an absorption spectrum of polystyrene beads was obtained from SX images taken by the microscope. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
