diffraction-limited storage rings
access
X-ray scanning microscopy greatly benefits from a reduced emittance of synchrotron radiation sources, especially from a diffraction-limited storage ring. Nanofocusing is discussed in view of focus size, flux and coherence.
research papers
A Ronchi interferometer for hard X-rays was used to characterize the performance of nanofocusing optics and beamline stability. The interferometer proved capable of obtaining qualitative data on optics aberrations, beamline spatial coherence, and pin-point vibrations and drift of beamline components.
research papers
Results of ptychographic characterization of point focusing with multilayer Laue lenses are discussed. Analysis of an integrated test sample shows the potential of this set-up for future measurements.
