    摘要: A sample vessel for X-ray microscopes comprising a first silicon base plate having an entrance window covered with a thin film of silicon nitride, and a second silicon base plate which has an exit window covered with a thin film of silicon nitride and matched with the entrance window. The second silicon base plate being connected the first base plate by way of a spacer so as to form a sealed space capable of accommodating samples to be observed. Disposed in the space is a mesh member made of a wire material having an angle of contact with water smaller than 90.degree. at a location adjacent to the thin film of silicon nitride covering the entrance window or a thin film of aluminium is evaporation-coated over the thin film of silicon nitride. This sample vessel makes it possible to enhance mechanical strength of the thin film of silicon nitride and limits shifting of samples within very narrow ranges with water films formed in meshes of the mesh member, thereby remarkably facilitating observation of the samples with X-rays and soft X-rays.

    摘要: In a soft X-ray microscope including a soft X-ray source for emitting soft X-rays, a condenser lens for focusing the soft X-rays onto a specimen under inspection, an objective lens for focusing soft X-rays emanating from the specimen, a soft X-ray detector for receiving the soft X-rays focused by the objective lens, and a visually observing optical system for forming a visible image of the specimen by converting an optical property of the specimen other than contrast and color into a contrast in brightness or color. The visually observing optical system may be formed as phase contrast microscope, dark field microscope, polarizing microscope, differential interference microscope, or fluorescent microscope. Then, alignment and focus adjustment can be performed by observing the visible image of the specimen without irradiating the specimen with the soft X-rays even if the specimen has substantially no contrast and color.

Consequently, the microscope achieves improvement of the spatial resolution as to overcome the diffraction limit determined by the wavelengths in use.
