Fabrication of X-ray Microscope Mirrors

We showed the design of a Wolter type I mirror which was optimized to have a maximum effective solid angle used in X-ray microscopes, and fabricated the mirror using the replication method. Several mirrors were successfully fabricated using only one master mandrel by our replication method without destroying the master mandrel. The replicated Au focusing and imaging mirrors showed surface rough...

A High-resolution X-ray Microscope

92 LLE Review, Volume 74 A soft x-ray microscope (E & 3 keV) with high spatial resolution (~3 μm) has been characterized at LLE and used for initial experiments on the OMEGA laser system to study the hydrodynamic stability of directly driven planar foils. The microscope, which is an optimized Kirkpatrick-Baez (KB)–type design, is used to obtain four x-ray radiographs of laser-driven foils. Time...

A Framed Monochromatic X-ray Microscope

Detector Crystal The Laser Fusion Experiments Groups from the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) and the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) have jointly developed an instrument capable of simultaneously space-, time-, and spectrally resolving x-ray emission from inertial confinement fusion (ICF) targets. Uses of the instrument include framed imaging of line emission from fuel or shell dop...
