摘要
Soft x-ray microscopy is an attractive tool for the study of biological samples in-vitro, due to the penetrating nature of x-rays and the natural contrast which can be achieved in hydrated samples. There has been a roadblock to the commercialisation and rollout of small, laboratory scale, x-ray microscopes for use in the wider community, as high resolution x-ray microscopy requires tuneable, high brightness x-ray sources. NANO-UV has engaged in a product development programme to introduce the first affordable stand-alone compact soft x-ray microscope for in-vitro studies, known as McXI. The initial specification of McXI is to provide 100 nm resolution on in-vitro specimens, with a unique wavelength selection mechanism in the 2.3-4.4 nm region.
