Abstract
A toroidal relay optic has been used to overcome the problem of damage caused by debris that has limited previous attempts at soft x-ray lithography and contact microscopy using laser-produced plasma sources. Not only is the specimen preserved, but it is now possible to have a vacuum retaining soft x-ray transparent Si3N4 window as a permanent part of the apparatus, greatly simplifying specimen handling. The exposure times are ∼2 ns.
