Description
Summary:We introduce the concept of a liquid compound refractive X-ray zoom lens. The lens is generated by pumping a suitable liquid lens material like water, alcohol or heated lithium through a line of nozzles each forming a jet with the cross section of lens elements. The system is housed, so there is a liquid-circulation. This lens can be used in white beam at high brilliance synchrotron sources, as radiation damages are cured by the continuous reformation of the lens. The focal length can be varied by closing nozzles, thus reducing the number of lens elements in the beam.
