Abstract

Experiments in soft x-ray near-field diffraction imaging and holography have been carried out with 25- and 36-Å undulator radiation at the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory.^1,2 By using a near-field version of the Gabor hologram geometry as shown in Fig. 1, we are attempting to capitalize on the high spatial resolution offered by PMMA and a copolymer of PMMA/MAA photoresist detectors. We plan to numerically reconstruct the image from a highresolution map of the detected exposure level made by electron microscopy or some other means.
