Notizen:
Optical elements need to be developed at least at the same pace as synchrotron radiation sources of the third generation. We are concerned here with the interrelationship between improved optical instruments and scientific progress. This relationship becomes especially clear in the development of new monochromators with higher resolution and large throughput. The availability of better mirrors and gratings is most important in this respect. Another field is microscopy. We shall be concerned here mainly with scanning microscopy in which the radiation is imaged with mirrors onto a small spot on the sample. The respective imaging with zone plates is the topic of another paper. A spot size of 0.1 μm and better is theoretically feasible with mirrors but it depends on much progress in the manufacturing of aspherical mirrors of high accuracy. We demonstrate mainly from our own results with a spot in the 1 μm range that it is worthwhile to make this effort. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
