ABSTRACT
The reflective and structural parameters of Be/Si/Al multilayer mirrors have been studied. The extent of stability of their X-ray optical characteristics has been demonstrated during storage in air for 4 years and during vacuum annealing at temperatures up to 100°C. A high reflectance of 62.5% was obtained, together with a spectral selectivity of λ/Δλ≈59 at a wavelength of 17.14â nm and 34%, with λ/Δλ ≈ 31 at a wavelength of 31.3â nm. It was shown that Si interlayers reduce the interlayer roughness from 0.45 to 0.20â nm.
ABSTRACT
The article is devoted to the development of an EUV microscope using a wavelength of 13.84â nm. Due to the use of a mirror lens with a large numerical aperture, NA = 0.27, and a short depth of focus, it has been possible to carry out z-tomography of bio-samples for the first time with this type of microscope. A 3D image was reconstructed, and a pixel resolution of 140â nm was obtained. A new simple algorithm for the 3D reconstruction of absorption images from z-tomography data has been proposed that takes into account lens aberrations and a point spread function. The algorithm reduces the inverse absorption task to the corresponding well-studied task of fluorescence microscopy, with an error of 10% for cells up to 10 µm thick.
