TLDR
In this article, conditions for the removal of unwanted diffraction orders by a combination of an axial stop and a pinhole are examined, and the effect of these obstructions on the image quality is discussed.Abstract:
Fresnel zone plates are considered as imaging elements for soft X-ray microscopy. Conditions for the removal of unwanted diffraction orders by a combination of an axial stop and a pin-hole are examined. The effect of these obstructions on the image quality is discussed.read more

On the diffraction theory of optical images
TL;DR: The theory of image formation is formulated in terms of the coherence function in the object plane, the diffraction distribution function of the image-forming system and a function describing the structure of the object.

Effects of diffraction efficiency on the modulation transfer function of diffractive lenses
TL;DR: The integrated efficiency is shown to be the limiting value for the optical transfer function; in most cases it serves as an overall scale factor for the transfer function.
Journal ArticleDOI
X-ray microscopy
TL;DR: The main advances have been in intense sources, principally synchrotron radiation and plasma sources and in X-ray optical components such as grazing incidence reflectors, multilayer mirrors and zone plates as mentioned in this paper.

Stigmatic imaging by zone plates: a generalized treatment
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new and succinct formulation for the zone radii of zone plates in terms of the focal length and the object-to-image throw of the imaging configuration.

Image Formation in the Scanning Microscope
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of various arrangements using lenses with annular pupil functions is discussed, and it is found that Type 2 microscopes have improved imaging properties over conventional microscopes and that these may be further improved by use of one or two lenses with ANNular pupils.
