LAUSR

A single shot coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) using an X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) enable us to visualize structures of a specimen without radiation damage owing to the femtosecond pulse nature. Living cells have been observed by pulsed coherent X-ray solution scattering (PCXSS) [1] using XFEL pulses from the SPring-8 Angstrom Compact free-electron LAser (SACLA). Although the resolution of a few tens nanometer has been achieved, there is a growing demand of resolution as high as single nanometer range. In order to meet the demand, we developed high-resolution CDI system employed multilayer focusing mirrors which has a high throughput and short focal lengths to further increase fluence at the sample plane.
