Abstract
Based on Kirchhoff’s diffraction theory, the modulation transfer function MTF has been calculated as a criterion for the imaging quality of a micro zone plate. The micro zone plate will be used for imaging with high magnification in x-ray microscopes. The optical arrangement of an x-ray microscope is sketched in Fig.1 [1].
