Laboratory arrangement for soft x-ray zone plate efficiency measurements.
We demonstrate a laboratory-scale arrangement for rapid and accurate measurements of the absolute and local efficiency of soft x-ray micro zone plates in the water window. This in-house instrument is based on a single-line lambda = 2.88 nm liquid-jet laser-plasma source. Measurements are performed by a simultaneous comparison of first diffraction-order photon flux with the flux in a calibrated ...

The second — the Ish arrangement — was recently defined by the first author who used the two arrangements together to give a new interpretation of the q, t-Catalan numbers of Garsia and Haiman.
