Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Since the shortness of the wavelength and existance of some absorption edges of light elements in “Water window” wavelength region (2.3 - 4.4 nm), a high spatial resolution image will be obtained with high contrast when an unstained organic material is imaged using this wavelength region. In order to enable high spatial resolution imaging of organic materials using a laboratory light source in this wavelength region, we made following studies: (1) Improvement of efficiency and brightness of laser-produced plasma light source, (2) Development of laboratory type soft x-ray microscope with soft x-ray imaging optics, and (3) Demonstration of soft X-ray images of biological cells in the "carbon window" and "water window" wavelength region. Furthermore, we found newly as an unexpected result that the emission intensity of the soft X-ray in "Water window" wavelength region from the laser produced plasma under N2 atomosphere increases as the increase of the N2 gas pressure.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
基礎医学・臨床応用、薬学、基礎生物学、農学などの生物を対象とする学問はすべて、生物を構成する細胞内の構造を知るために高い空間分解能を持つ顕微鏡を必要としている。本研究はその要求に応えるための一つの方法として「水の窓」波長域(λ=2.3~4.4 nm)を利用した軟X線顕微鏡のための光源、光学系などの要素技術開発を行い、それらを組み合わせて顕微鏡として完成させた。その他、要素技術開発の途中で新たな高輝度光源の動作原理となる可能性のあるプラズマ発光強度のガス圧依存性を見出した。
