A novel interferometer has been developed with which the complex index of refraction of thin self-supporting foils can be measured in the vacuum ultraviolet and soft x-ray region. It consists of two collinear undulators and a grating spectrometer. Taking advantage of the low emittance 855 MeV electron beam from the Mainz Microtron, distinct intensity oscillations have been observed as a function of the distance between the undulators. A foil placed between the undulators causes a phase shift and an attenuation of the oscillation amplitude. The complex index of refraction has been measured at the K-absorption edge of carbon. [S0031-9007(98)06368-6] Resonant anomalous x-ray scattering plays an increasingly important role in many disciplines of physics, biology, and material sciences. Using the brilliant and tunable x-ray beams from modern synchrotron radiation sources, it is now possible to fully exploit the information in the strong energy and polarization dependence of the atomic scattering amplitude fsv, $ qd › f0s $ qd 1 f 0 svd 1 if 00 svd near absorption edges [1]. This is the ratio of the scattering amplitude of an atom to that of a free (Thomson) electron. It can be separated in an energy independent “normal” coherent scattering amplitude f0s $ qd and an
