Scientists have developed a ground-breaking achromatic lens for X-rays. This allows the X-ray beams to be accurately focused on a single point even if they have different wavelengths. The new lens ...

This news release is available in German. A team led by DESY scientists has designed, fabricated and successfully tested a novel X-ray lens that produces sharper and brighter images of the nano world.

X‐ray optics has emerged as a critical field in modern imaging and fabrication, utilising refractive lenses that enable the precise control and focusing of X‐ray beams. Refractive lenses, particularly ...

“Diffractive and refractive optical elements have become an integral part of most high-resolution X-ray microscopes. However, they suffer from inherent chromatic aberration. This has to date ...
