Patent ID: 7474729

Claim:
Soft X-ray microscope, comprising: a table ( 10 ); a housing ( 20 ) installed to the upper side of the table ( 10 ) and having a partition ( 22 ); a light source chamber ( 30 ) installed lower than the partition ( 22 ) of the housing ( 20 ) to project a light to liquid jetted under a high pressure to generate plasma; a mirror chamber ( 40 ), installed above the partition ( 22 ) of the housing ( 20 ), in which first and second mirror ( 410 and 430 ) are respectively installed to upper and lower sides of a holder ( 420 ) for storing a living sample, the soft X-ray generated by the plasma generated in the light source chamber ( 30 ) illuminates the living sample, and the soft X-ray penetrated the living sample is amplified to obtain an image in an image capturing chamber; and an image capturing chamber ( 50 ) installed to the upper side of the housing ( 20 ) to amplify a light image signal amplified through the mirror chamber ( 40 ) and to capture the light image on an external screen to allow distinguishing the light image from exterior; wherein the mirror chamber ( 40 ) comprises: a first base plate ( 440 ) fixed to the upper side of the partition ( 22 ) of the housing ( 20 ) and having a first transmission hole ( 442 ) formed in the central portion thereof; a first mirror ( 410 ) including a first transporting device ( 412 ) installed on the first base plate ( 440 ), and a condenser mirror ( 414 ) installed in the central portion of the first transporting device ( 412 ) to amplify the light and to illuminate the living sample; a second base plate ( 450 ) positioned above the first mirror ( 410 ), supported by a plurality of supporting rods ( 452 ) to maintain the distance from the first base plate ( 440 ), and having a second transmission hole ( 454 ) formed in the central portion thereof; a holder part ( 420 ) including a second transporting device ( 422 ) installed on the second base plate ( 450 ), and a coupling ( 426 ) for separating and coupling the holder ( 424 ) storing the living sample from and to the central portion of the second transporting device ( 422 ); a second mirror ( 430 ) including a third transporting device ( 432 ) installed on the second base plate ( 450 ), and a Fresnel diffraction zone plate ( 434 ) installed in the central portion of the third transporting device ( 432 ) and positioned above the holder ( 424 ); and a vacuuming device ( 460 ) for vacuuming the inside of the housing ( 20 ) having the mirror chamber ( 40 ) and for maintaining vacuum.
