Recent Results from the Stony Brook Scanning Microscope

We have recently completed our first run [21.1] with the Stony Brook scanning microscope at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS), using a Fresnel zone plate fabricated at IBM as the principal focusing element. The brightness of this synchrotron radiation source coupled with our high — resolution optics have made a substantial improvement in resolution and throughput compared with our earlier work [21.2,3] which lacked these features.
