    This study demonstrates ultrahigh-resolution 3D imaging using soft x-rays and scanning transmission x-ray microscopy. The technique achieved 1000-angstrom resolution, offering detailed insights into microscopic structures.

    Area of Science:

    • Microscopy
    • X-ray imaging
    • Materials science

    Background:

    • Achieving high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) imaging at the nanoscale is crucial for understanding complex microscopic structures.
    • Traditional imaging techniques often face limitations in resolving fine details in three dimensions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and demonstrate an ultrahigh-resolution 3D imaging technique using soft x-rays.
    • To achieve depth resolution comparable to transverse resolution in microscopic imaging.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a scanning transmission x-ray microscope (STXM) to collect data.
    • Acquired nine 2D projection images at various angles (-50 to +55 degrees) of a test object with gold bars.
    • Employed an algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) for tomographic reconstruction of the 3D image.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a transverse resolution of approximately 1000 angstroms.
    • Demonstrated depth resolution comparable to transverse resolution.
    • Some features were reconstructed with a depth resolution as fine as 1000 angstroms, despite overall resolution limited to 6000 angstroms by artifacts.

    Conclusions:

    • Soft x-ray STXM combined with tomographic reconstruction is a viable method for ultrahigh-resolution 3D imaging.
    • The technique shows promise for detailed nanoscale structural analysis.
    • Further refinement can potentially overcome reconstruction artifacts to improve overall depth resolution.
