Popis: Based on parabolic refractive x-ray lenses we have built a hard x-ray microscope that allows one to image the interior of opaque samples with submicrometer resolution. We have combined magnified imaging with tomography to obtain the three-dimensional structure of the sample at a resolution well below 1 μm. Using an aluminum lens to record a magnified tomogram of a test sample (microprocessor), a resolution of slightly above 400 nm was found for the three-dimensional reconstruction. Lenses made of beryllium are expected to improve this resolution to well below 100 nm. The resulting challenges concerning instrumentation and numerical methods are discussed.
