Examples in Context

  1. Because of the wavelength of the x rays used, soft x ray microscopes will never match the highest resolution possible with electron microscopes.
  2. During the1940's, electron microscopes routinely achieved resolution better than that poss ible with a visible light microscope, while the performance of x ray microscopes resisted improvement.
  3. In recent years, however, interest in x ray microscopes has revived, largely because of advances such as the developmen t of new sources of x ray illumination.
  4. The multilayer with working wavelength at soft X ray range is a key component which can construct a variety of optical systems, such as telescopes, microscopes, projection lithographic systems, spectrographs etc.
