Abstract

The article is devoted to the development of an EUV microscope using a wavelength of 13.84 nm. Due to the use of a mirror lens with a large numerical aperture, NA = 0.27, and a short depth of focus, it has been possible to carry out z-tomography of bio-samples for the first time with this type of microscope. A 3D image was reconstructed, and a pixel resolution of 140 nm was obtained. A new simple algorithm for the 3D reconstruction of absorption images from z-tomography data has been proposed that takes into account lens aberrations and a point spread function. The algorithm reduces the inverse absorption task to the corresponding well-studied task of fluorescence microscopy, with an error of 10% for cells up to 10 µm thick.
