ABSTRACT
A transmission X-ray microscope has been designed and commissioned at the 18-ID Full-field X-ray Imaging beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II. This instrument operates in the 5-11 keV range, and, with the current set of optics, is capable of 30 nm spatial resolution imaging, with a field of view of about 40 µm. For absorption contrast, the minimum exposure time for a single projection image is about 20 ms and an entire 3D tomography data set can be acquired in under 1 min. The system enables tomographic reconstructions with sub-50 nm spatial resolution without the use of markers on the sample or corrections for rotation run-outs.
