在大型同步辐射设备“Spring 8”的光束线上不移动样品而扫描样品的结果。

可以获得解析 50 纳米最小结构的 X 射线显微镜图像。

常规扫描X射线显微镜:

使用扫描 X 射线显微镜
《X射线探头与样品的相对位置关系》,
需要高精度扫描。
传统上,人们认为很难弯曲 X 射线。

因此,扫描样品而不是X射线的设备已经成为主流。

(IUCr) Hard X-ray nanoprobe scanner

X-ray scientists are continually striving to improve the quality of X-ray microscopy, due to the fact that

the information obtained from X-ray microscopy of materials can be complementary to that obtained from optical and electron microscopes.

In contrast to the ease with which one can deflect electron beams, the relative difficulty to deflect X-ray has constrained the development of scanning X-ray microscopes (SXMs) based on a scan of an X-ray small probe.

This restriction
has caused severe complications that hinder progress toward achieving ultimate resolution.

Here,
a simple and innovative method for constructing an SXM equipped with a nanoprobe scanner is proposed.

The nanoprobe scanner

combines X-ray prisms and advanced Kirkpatrick–Baez focusing mirrors.

By rotating the prisms on the order of degrees, X-ray probe scanning with single-nanometre accuracy can be easily achieved.

The validity of the concept
was verified by acquiring an SXM image of a test pattern at a photon energy of 10 keV, where 50 nm line-and-space structures were resolved.

This method is readily applicable

to an SXM with a single-nanometre resolution and will assist effective utilization of increasing brightness of fourth-generation synchrotron radiation sources
