“…On the other hand, conventional X-ray microscopy techniques as proposed by Kirkpatrick and Baez [6,7] have been implemented in the hard X-ray domain rather late. Here, an in-line scheme is used where the beam transmitted through the sample is magnified by X-ray optics such as mirrors [8], Fresnel zone plates [9], Bragg-Fresnel lenses [10], or refractive lenses [11].…”

We describe a diffraction microscopy technique based on refractive optics to study structural variations in crystals. The X-ray beam diffracted by a crystal was magnified by Beryllium parabolic refractive lenses on a 2D X-ray camera. The microscopy setup was integrated into the 6-circle Huber diffractometer at the ESRF beamline ID06. Our setup allowed us to visualize structural imperfections with a resolution of ≈ 1 µm. The configuration, however, can easily be adapted for sub-µm resolution.

“…This unique method allows recording both the amplitude and phase of an electromagnetic wavefront. [1] Several years af− ter the appearance of Gabor's paper, Baez [2] suggested the extension of this idea to the X−ray region. The idea re− mained as an interesting proposal till the early 1960s when holography started to be widely applied following the paper by Leith and Upatnieks, who proposed the off−axis hologra− phy, scheme which overcomes many of the Gabor configu− ration drawbacks [3].…”

Holographic 2D/3D imaging with nanometer resolution using short wavelength extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light is presented in this paper. Gabor’s holograms were recorded with a highly coherent table top EUV laser with different numerical apertures demonstrating ultimately a spatial resolution of 46+/−2 nm, comparable with the illumination wavelength, in 2D holographic imaging. Three dimensional images were obtained from a single high numerical aperture hologram recorded in a high resolution photoresist and numerically reconstructed at different image planes, allowing numerical optical sectioning with a lateral resolution ∼170 nm and depth resolution of 2.4 µm. The holograms were recorded in a high resolution photoresist and digitized with an atomic force microscope. To assess the spatial resolution of the numerical reconstructions of the holograms a correlation method was used. The algorithm allows for simultaneous estimation of the resolution and the feature size of the image under analysis.

“…However, holography was not widely practiced until Leith and Upatnieks demonstrated off-axis holography in the early 1960s [2]. Extension of holographic techniques to the X-ray region was suggested several years later by Baez [3]. Nevertheless, realization of this goal proved difficult and EUV holographic images of simple objects were not obtained until the early 1970s [4,5].…”

Abstract:We report sub-400 nm spatial resolution with Gabor holography obtained using a highly coherent table top 46.9 nm laser. The hologram was recorded in high resolution photoresist and subsequently digitized with an atomic force microscope. The final image was numerically reconstructed with a Fresnel propagator. Optimal reconstruction parameters and quantification of spatial resolution were obtained with a wavelet analysis and image correlation.
