Imaging Soft X-Ray Microscopy with Zone Plates in Parallel Use of Optical Microscope for Wet Bio-Specimens in Air at UVSOR

Soft X-ray microscope, a specimen holder of which was placed in air, was constructed at UVSOR, synchrotron radiation facility at Institute for Molecular Science, Japan. This made possible to investigate a specimen without impairing the vacuum of the microscope and to prefocus a specimen with an optical microscope incorporated in the microscope. Dry and wet specimens could be observed at a wavelength of 0.94 nm.
