Abstract
AbstractA brief description is given of scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) worldwide, illustrated by the current state of development of the combined King's College Lon- don-SERC Daresbury Laboratory STXM.Application areas for the STXM are discussed in the light of new and emerging developments, such as phase contrast imaging, now available to supplement imaging by absorption processes. It is anticipated that, in perhaps three years, point to point resolutions of 20 nm may be achieved, as against the current best figure of about 50 nm, and the use of higher energy X-rays will increase useful specimen thicknesses from the present 5 pm or so for hydrated specimens towards 20 pm.
