title: Projected advances in laboratory soft x-ray systems and their applications.
abstract: Advances in x-ray laser plasma sources and zone plate optics since the early 1980s are reviewed. The improvements are projected into the early years of the 21st century and it is demonstrated that applications such as x-ray microscopy will become increasingly amenable to small scale laboratory systems.
