Quantitative analysis of thin samples by differential absorption imaging using a laser-plasma soft X-ray source

We consider the application of the differential absorption imaging technique in the soft X-ray region. The surface-density maps of test samples containing bromine, resulting from the application of the differential absorption imaging technique, are presented. Images of the samples were obtained in a...

Description
Summary:We consider the application of the differential absorption imaging technique in the soft X-ray region. The surface-density maps of test samples containing bromine, resulting from the application of the differential absorption imaging technique, are presented. Images of the samples were obtained in an X-ray monochromatic projection imaging scheme based on a spherically bent crystal using line emission close to the $L_2$ edge of bromine from a microplasma produced by focusing a nanosecond laser on the surface of an aluminum target.
