ABSTRACT:
A soft X-ray microscope comprising a soft X-ray radiation source which is substantially a spot radiation source, a condenser for leading soft X-rays from the radiation source to a sample, a reflecting mirror for grazing incidence which is disposed between the radiation source and the condenser, and has a rough reflecting surface, an objective optical system for forming a magnified image of the sample, and a soft X-ray detector for receiving the soft X-rays from the objective optical system. This microscope exhibits excellent imaging characteristic even when it uses a spot radiation source.
