PI建议继续开发扫描X射线 使用波荡器辐射的光学显微术和伽柏全息术 国家同步加速器光源（NSLS）。 在过去的三年里，与同事合作， 从NSLS，劳伦斯伯克利实验室，和IBM， 研究人员已经开发，仪器和委托 软X射线波荡器束线X-1A，沿着该装置， 扫描透射显微镜（STXM）和伽柏全息术。 使用这些仪器的实验计划已经开始。 最初的运行经验指出了几个领域， 进一步的发展将产生深远的影响， 设施的性能和实用性。 其中一些 与提高分辨率和增强 仪器，而其他涉及辅助研究，以阐明 生物学研究的应用范围。 此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， PI计划参与用户计划， 他们的努力将致力于帮助用户在早期 实验

The PI's propose to continue the development of scanning x-ray microscopy and Gabor holography using undulator radiation at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS). During the past three years, in collaboration with colleagues from the NSLS, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and IBM, the researchers have developed, instrumented and commissioned the soft x-ray undulator beamline X-1A, along with the apparatus for scanning transmission microscope (STXM) and Gabor holography. The experimental program using these instruments has started. The initial operating experience points up several areas where further development will have a profound effect on the performance and usefulness of the facilities. Some of these relate to improved resolution and increased capabilities of the instruments, while others involve auxiliary studies to elucidate the range of applications for biological research. In addition, the PIs plan to participate in the user program, and more of their effort will be devoted to helping users during their early experiments.
