Flash X-ray microscopy with a gas jet plasma source.
A novel flash X-ray source, the gas jet plasma source, has been used for contact X-ray microscopy. Using a wavelength range of 2-7 nm a resolution of the order of 30 nm can be obtained. The gas jet plasma source provides a new and unique tool which should allow future imaging of wet live cells.
