Flash soft x-ray microscopy
Fast, short wavelength pulses allow capturing the motion of objects at the nanometer scale. In this work, a sequence of real-space flash images acquired with a table-top SXR laser was used to capture the motion of a rapidly oscillating magnetic nanoprobe.

Nano microscopy
Short wavelength allows resolution down to 54 nm. Our imaging system employs a Sc/Si multilayer coated Schwarzschild condenser and a freestanding zone plate objective. The microscope operates in either reflection or transmission modes. .

Material ablation
Ablation of holes with diameters as small as 82 nm and very clean walls was obtained in poly(methyl methacrylate) focusing pulses from a Ne-like Ar 46.9 nm compact capillary-discharge laser with a freestanding Fresnel zone plate diffracting into third order.
