High-resolution soft x-ray microscopy

Science. 1977 Jul 15;197(4300):259-60. doi: 10.1126/science.406670.

Abstract

X-ray micrographs of biological materials have been obtained with a resolution better than 100 angstroms by using x-ray resist as the recording medium. A high-resolution scanning electron microscope with a short-focal-length final lens, operating in the "low-loss" mode, is used to make the smallest features in the x-ray replica visible.
