Abstract

During the past years the capabilities of an imaging x-ray microscope using zone plate optics as focussing elements were demonstrated gradually [22.1,2]. In addition to this microscope we built a scanning x-ray microscope using zone plates. It has been developed because the radiation dose exposed to an object in such a system is reduced significantly. For biological applications in the resolution range below δ ≲ 0.1 pm this is important, as the dose transferred to an object increases drastically with increasing resolution [22.3].
