摘要：

We are developing two independent, but complementary microbeams for irradiating cells individually in vitro. Firstly, a charged-particle microbeam that uses a fine-bore glass capillary, combined with a transmission detector to precisely irradiate cells with exact numbers of energetic charge-particles and secondly, a soft X-ray microprobe that produces a very fine beam of carbon-K (278 eV) ultrasoft X-rays, focused to a spot size < 100 nm. X-ray focusing is achieved using zone-plate diffraction lenses developed initially for X-ray microscopy applications.
