A tremendous progress in X-ray optics development was made in the past decade. Progress
has been driven by the unique properties of X-ray beams produced by third generation …

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 …

Refraction through curved surfaces, reflection from curved mirrors in grazing incidence, and
diffraction from Fresnel zone plates are key hard x-ray focusing mechanisms. In this article …

A new super resolution imaging technique which potentially enables sub-µm spatial
resolution, using a detector of pixels much larger than the spatial resolution, is proposed …

A high-flux sub-micrometre focusing system was constructed using multilayer focusing
mirrors in Kirkpatrick–Baez geometry for 100 keV X-rays. The focusing mirror system had a …

X-ray refractive lenses made from nickel are ideally suited for scanning focusing microscopy
and imaging using high-energy X-ray photons. They can provide minimum spot size of about …

A compound refractive lens made of nickel and designed for focusing high-energy
synchrotron X-rays is presented. The lens consists of 600 parabolic grooves and focuses X …

The electronic structure of elemental silicon has been studied under high pressure using
high-energy Compton scattering utilizing synchrotron radiation. The experiment was …

A two-dimensional array of compound refractive lenses (2D array of CRLs) designed for
hard X-ray imaging with a 3.5 mm2 large field of view is presented. The array of CRLs …

This chapter presents a summary of micro-focusing optics and methods for X-rays in the
energy range 4–100 keV, as provided by synchrotron radiation sources. The advent of third …
