An innovative route for deep-submicrometer spatial resolution hard x-ray microscopy with tabletop source is proposed. A film of lithium fluoride (LiF) was used as imaging detector in contact mode. We present here the images recorded on LiF films a Fresnel zone plate submicrometer gold structures and an onion cataphyll. The were read optical confocal microscope fluorescence measured about 250nm, i.e., close to limit microscope. advantages drawbacks, possible improvements, this are discussed.

In this paper, the use of lithium fluoride (LiF) as imaging radiation detector to analyse living cells by single-shot soft X-ray contact microscopy is presented. High resolved images on LiF cyanobacterium Leptolyngbya VRUC135, two unicellular microalgae genus Chlamydomonas and mouse macrophage (line RAW 264.7) have been obtained utilizing in water window energy range from a laser plasma source. The used method based loading samples, cell suspension, special holder where they are close with...

In this work, we report a method to observe soft X-ray radiographs at nanoscale of various kind samples, biological and metallic, stored in thin layer lithium fluoride, employing scanning near-field optical microscopy with an resolution that reaches 50 nm. Lithium fluoride material works as novel image detector for nano-radiographs, due the fact extreme ultraviolet radiation X-rays efficiently produce stable point defects emitting optically stimulated visible luminescence surface layer. The...

The development of both transmissive and reflective THz imaging is under way at ENEA-Frascati employing a compact free electron laser (THz GFEL). high peak power available makes the FEL particularly suitable for long range detection. Different setup was tested different levels spatial resolution to image objects from few centimetre square larger sizes.

A novel experimental setup for transmission x-ray microscopy is presented. It based on the use of a point isotropic x- ray source and single spherical crystal. The beam intensity modulated by object attenuation, then monochromatized enlarged using crystal and, lastly, imaged detector downstream We demonstrate tracing technique testing that this system allows studies with image resolution better than dimensions source, high magnification ratios, great field view. Microscopes model ca be...
