ABSTRACT
X-rays are used for imaging many different types of biological specimen, ranging from live organisms to the individual cells and proteins from which they are made. The level of detail achieved as a result of the imaging varies depending on both the sample and the technique used. One of the most recent technical developments in X-ray imaging is that of the soft X-ray microscope, designed to allow the internal structure of individual biological cells to be explored. With a field of view of â¼10-20 × â¼10-20 µm, a penetration depth of â¼10 µm and a resolution of â¼40 nm(3), the soft X-ray microscope neatly fits between the imaging capabilities of light and electron microscopes.
