Sliced zone plate for hard x-ray sources: manufacturing and testing

Fresnel hard x-ray zone plate was manufactured by sputter- sliced technology to work on 2.29 A wavelength. Cu and Cr were used to create opaque and transparent zones. The experimental setup was prepared to investigate optical properties of obtained zone plate. The focusing effect was observed. The numerical methods and software were developed to simulate imaging properties of Fresnel zone plate. Experimental data was compared with calculations.
