In this review we propose to address the question: for the life-science researcher, what does
X-ray microscopy have to offer that is not otherwise easily available? We will see that the …

Scientific imaging represents an important and accepted research tool for the analysis and
understanding of complex natural systems. Apart from traditional microscopic techniques …

Extending planar two-dimensional structures into the three-dimensional space has become
a general trend in multiple disciplines, including electronics, photonics, plasmonics and …

This book emerged from a close collaboration of the authors which started in the fall of 2000.
Early that year one of us (JS) had joined the Stanford faculty after spending nearly 15 years …

Two new soft X-ray scanning transmission microscopes located at the Advanced Light
Source (ALS) have been designed, built and commissioned. Interferometer control …

A fundamental problem in cell biology is the cause of aging. The solution to this problem has
not yet been obtained because,(l) until recently, it was not possible to image living cells …

We report on the successful installation and operation of a scanning transmission x-ray
microspectroscope (STXM) at the PolLux facility at the Swiss Light Source. This integration …

Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) spectromicroscopy, resonant
scattering and resonant reflectivity are specialized, synchrotron radiation based, soft X-ray …

A review is given of the principles underlying X-ray magnetic circular (XMCD) and linear
(XMLD) dichroism spectromicroscopies consisting of polarized X-ray absorption …

This review summarizes recent experimental data on imploding z‐pinches and their
radiation output, and gives an overview of theoretical issues concerning radiation production …
