Abstract
We have investigated the spectral brilliance of subpicosecond UV-laser-plasmas as a source for the soft x-ray microscopy in the so-called ‘water-window’. The spectral range between the absorption K-edges of carbon (4.36 nm) and oxygen (2.32 nm) is termed ‘water-window’ . The absorption coefficient of both materials differ by one order of magnitude providing a high contrast of the biological samples in their natural environment [1].
