W. Chao et al.,Opt. Lett. 28, 2019 (Nov 2003)


New Results Using Overlay Nanofabrication:Outer Zone Width of 15 nm

• Zone plate lenses made using a new, e-beam based nanofabrication techniquehave extended outer zones from 25 nm to 15 nm.

• The new lenses work as expected, resolving fine patterns not seen previously• Shorter depth of focus (λ/NA2) opens the opportunity for soft x-ray “optical

sectioning” of biological material.
