Research Abstract	Novel soft X-ray microscope has been developed for the real time observation of radiation damages of biological and organic samples induced by soft X-ray irradiation. In order to achieve the chromatic aberration-free imaging, the optics of microscope was constructed by reflecting mirrors. The microscope was constructed by a pair of spherical mirrors, and the spherical aberration was corrected by sequential reflection of two spherical mirrors. The prototype microscope was constructed based on the optimized parameters obtained by computer simulation, and the successful aberration correction was achieved.
