Short-exposure laboratory water-window cryo microscopy. The Stockholm laboratory x-ray microscope is based on a liquid-nitrogen-jet laser-plasma source producing 2.48 nm line emission. A normal-incidence multilayer condenser mirror (MLM) focuses the 500 eV x-rays onto the sample, which is imaged by the zone plate (ZP) onto the CCD detector. A central stop (CS) creates a hollow-cone illumination and a 200 nm aluminum filter absorbs scattered visible light while transmitting the soft x-rays. The heating coil around the nozzle tip is a recently added feature to improve the liquid nitrogen jet stability.
