Figure 1
Schematic of the XRIM experiment showing the X-ray source and the condenser Fresnel zone plate (FZP) X-ray lens that focuses the X-ray beam to a spot on the sample having some complex surface topography. An order-sorting aperture selects the first-order diffraction condition of the FZP lens. The spatial variation of the interfacial intensity is then imaged with an objective lens onto the X-ray CCD camera. Guard slits are used between the objective FZP and the CCD camera to block any X-rays not used in the image. The intensity variation in the XRIM image (on the right) is controlled by phase contrast associated with the interfacial topography (top left).
