A soft x-ray undulator beamline and an x-ray emission spectrometer have been designed for soft x-ray emission studies. The beamline has a varied-line-spacing plane grating monochromator, which enables the energy resolution over 104 with a beam size down to 10 × 60 μm2. The x-ray emission spectrometer has a Wolter type I mirror, a free-standing transmission grating, and a back-illuminated CCD. A high collection angle up to 1.5 × 10-3 sr is achieved by utilizing the Wolter mirror as a prefocusing system. The CCD is mounted at 1400 mm downstream of the grating on a Rowland torus mount. Diffracted x-rays are detected in the normal incidence geometry, resulting in high detection efficiency. The energy resolution is limited by the figure errors of the optical elements and the spatial resolution of the detector. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
