X-ray computer tomography (CT) is fast becoming an accepted tool within the materials
science community for the acquisition of 3D images. Here the authors review the current …

Hard X-ray fluorescence microscopy is one of the most sensitive techniques for performing
trace elemental analysis of biological samples such as whole cells and tissues …

This paper describes a tunable X-ray focusing apparatus, referred to as a transfocator,
based on compound refractive lenses. By varying the number of lenses in the beam, the X …

In this study, high-energy x-ray nanotomography (nano-computed tomography, nano-CT)
based on full-field x-ray microscopy was developed. Fine two-dimensional and three …

Various zone plates: amplitude, amplitude-phase, and phase ones (including Fresnel and
Gabor zone plates, Laue-and Bragg-Fresnel lenses, photon sieves, and aperiodic zone …

Optimizing the lens design and improving the technological process, we manufactured X-ray
planar compound refractive lenses with vertical sidewalls up to 70 microns deep. The lens …

Metalenses are planar optical components that have demonstrated immense potential for
integrated optics. In particular, they are capable of high-efficiency subwavelength focusing …

The fabrication of high aspect ratio metallic nanostructures is crucial for the production of
efficient diffractive X-ray optics in the hard X-ray range. We present a novel method to …

We describe the new experimental possibilities of the micro-and nanofocus X-ray scattering
beamline P03 of the synchrotron source PETRA III at DESY, Hamburg (Germany), which …

Fresnel zone plates are widely used for nanofocusing in x-ray microscopy. The focusing
performance is described in terms of the resolution, related to the width of the smallest …
