The detail characteristics of a compact laser-plasma X-ray source, dedicated for application
in soft X-ray contact microscopy is presented in the paper. The source is based on a double …

In this work, we present a compact laser-produced plasma source of X-rays, developed and
characterized for application in soft X-ray contact microscopy (SXCM). The source is based …

Since its invention, a major concern of those using a microscope has been to improve the
resolution without the introduction of artifacts. While light microscopy carrier little risk of the …

The high intensities generated by laser produced plasmas in the water window (23–44Å)
region of the x-ray spectrum make possible single shot contact x-ray microsocopy of living …

Soft X-ray contact microscopy has been performed using a short-lived laser-produced
plasma as the X-ray source. Single-shot exposures have been recorded in X-ray …

Soft x-ray contact microscopy (SXCM) is a technique which can image the ultrastructure of
living biological specimens at a resolution considerably better than light microscopy (LM) …

A Nd: Yag laser, giving 8ns pulses of 0.8 J at a wavelength of 1064 nm with a repetition rate
of up to 20Hz, is being used to generate a plasma that acts as a source of soft x-rays. The …

A table-top soft x-ray microscope based on a long-term stable and nearly debris-free laser
plasma from a pulsed nitrogen gas jet target is presented. The microscope operates in the …

The use of high energy lasers for generating plasmas for soft X-ray contact microscopy
(SXCM) of living biological specimens is now well established. However, such systems are …

An extremely compact soft x-ray microscope operating in the “water window” region at the
wavelength λ= 2.88 nm is presented, making use of a long-term stable and nearly debris …
