Abstract
A scanning transmission X-ray microscope (STXM) is under construction at NSRL in China. According
to schedule, the STXM project will be completed in 2003. The monochromatic X-rays for the STXM are from the
monochromator which is a combination of condense zone plates and a pinhole. The flux at the sample is the order of
105~
106 photons/s at) 100 mA. But the monochromatic X-rays aren't appropriate for spectromicroscopy because of their
poor monochromaticity. The STXM is placed in the chamber full of Helium gas. All parts of the STXM are controlled
by a computer. The finest zone width of the MZP is 45 nm, the outer diameter is 90
m, and the central stop diameter
is 40
m. The detector is a proportional counter made in NSRL. The software Kontron for image is purchased from
Germany.
