Experimental investigation of capillaries and focusing systems in soft x-ray range

The results of an experimental investigation of transporting soft x-rays through quartz capillaries are presented. These results are used to design a capillary focusing system in the soft x-ray range. Monolithic and assembled x-ray lenses for AlK(alpha )- and MoL(alpha )-radiation are also investigated. These result are compared to those obtained with multilayer structures.© (1996) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
