TLDR
In this paper, a laboratory x-ray microscope with zone plate optics and a pulsed plasma X-ray source was built with sub-optical resolution at a wavelength of about 2.5 nm.Abstract:
A laboratory x-ray microscope has been built with zone plate optics and a pulsed plasma x-ray source. X-ray images of metal patterns, diatoms and 3T3 mouse cells have been taken with sub-optical resolution at a wavelength of about 2.5 nm.read more

Compact water-window transmission X-ray microscopy.
TL;DR: This work demonstrates sub‐100 nm resolution water‐window soft X‐ray full‐field transmission microscopy with a compact system based on a 100 Hz table‐top regenerative debris‐free droplet‐target laser‐plasmaX‐ray source in combination with normal‐incidence multilayer condenser optics for sample illumination.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review three decades of efforts to build laboratory water-window microscopes and conclude that the method is now reaching the maturity to allow biological studies. But they also find that the brightness and the reliability of the laboratory source are the most critical parameters, but that the optics as well as the sample preparation also must be optimized to enable high-resolution imaging with adequate exposure times.

Investigations of Wet Biological Specimens with the X-Ray Microscope at BESSY
TL;DR: The ability to interact with the environment is an essential feature of living biological systems and corresponds critically to their sensitivity to changes of environmental conditions as mentioned in this paper. But the investigation of biological objects and in particular preparation methods have to take into account this genuine lack of rigidity of living organisms in order to avoid artefacts, i.e. unwanted changes of function or structure.

Germanium Phase Zone Plates with High Aspect Ratios for X-Ray Microscopy Experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase shift is a function of the thickness of the used zone plate material, which can lead to high aspect ratios, i.e. to high ratios of the height to the width of the zone.

A Plasma Source for an Imaging X-Ray Microscope
TL;DR: In this paper, a plasma focus device emitting line radiation of hydrogen-like nitrogen (N VII) at 2.5 nm into the water window region has been developed as a source for a laboratory imaging x-ray microscope.

Status of a Laboratory X-Ray Microscope
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a method to improve the resolution of X-ray microscopy experiments to about 10 nm using synchrotron radiation of electron storage rings, where the exposure time to take pictures with this resolution is a few seconds.
