A scanning transmission x-ray microscope for materials science spectromicroscopy at the advanced light source

Design and performance of a scanning transmission x-ray microscope ~STXM! at the Advanced Light Source is described. This instrument makes use of a high brightness undulator beamline and extends the STXM technique to new areas of research. After 2.5 years of development it is now an operational tool for research in polymer science, environmental chemistry, and magnetic materials. © 1998 America...

X-ray spectromicroscopy with the scanning transmission X-ray microscope at BESSY II.

Using the scanning transmission X-ray microscope at BESSY II, colloidal structures from a Chernozem soil have been studied with a spatial resolution around 60 nm and a spectral resolution of 1,700 at the K-absorption edge of carbon. Elemental mapping has been used to determine the distribution of organic matter within the colloidal structures. Spectra have been extracted from image stacks to ob...

PolLux: a new facility for soft x-ray spectromicroscopy at the Swiss Light Source.

We report on the successful installation and operation of a scanning transmission x-ray microspectroscope (STXM) at the PolLux facility at the Swiss Light Source. This integration of an advanced STXM with improved sample handling capabilities and a novel beamline provides unique capabilities. PolLux uses linearly or circularly polarized x-rays from a bending magnet with an extended photon energ...

Scintillator Detectors for Scanning Transmission X-rayMicroscopes at the Advanced Light Source

Quantitative phase imaging with a scanning transmission x-ray microscope.

We obtain quantitative phase reconstructions from differential phase contrast images obtained with a scanning transmission x-ray microscope and 2.5 keV x rays. The theoretical basis of the technique is presented along with measurements and their interpretation.
