Development of Time-resolvable and Element-distinguishable Three-dimensional Analytical X-ray Microscope

X射线相衬显微镜和X射线荧光显微镜是用同步辐射或激光等离子体X射线制成的。波带片主要用于X射线相差显微镜和沃尔特镜，用于X射线荧光显微镜。从多方向投影或X射线荧光图像重建三维X射线相衬图像和X射线荧光图像。用全场X射线荧光成像显微镜对硫酸铜电解过程进行了延时观察。利用X射线荧光图像进行三维元素测绘成为可能。对植物种子、红细胞、硅藻和钻石等标本进行了三维观察。

X-ray phase contrast and X-ray fluorescence microscopes have been constructed with synchrotron radiation or laser plasma X-rays. Zone plates were mainly used for the X-ray phase contrast microscope and Wolter mirrors for the X-ray fluorescence microscope. Three dimensional X-ray phase contrast and X-ray fluorescence images were reconstructed from multi-directional projection or X-ray fluorescence images. Time-lapse observation of electrolysis of copper sulfate was made with a full-field X-ray fluorescence imaging microscope. Three dimensional element mapping became possible with X-ray fluorescence images. Several specimens such as plant seeds, red blood cells, diatoms and diamonds were three dimensionally observed.
