Ptychography with multilayer Laue lenses

Two different multilayer Laue lens designs were made with total deposition thicknesses of 48 µm and 53 µm, and focal lengths of 20.0 mm and 12.5 mm at 20.0 keV, respectively. From these two multilayer systems, several lenses were manufactured for one- and two-dimensional focusing. The latter is realised with a directly bonded assembly of two crossed lenses, that reduces the distance between the lenses in the beam direction to 30 µm and eliminates the necessity of producing different multilayer systems. Characterization of lens fabrication was performed using a laboratory X-ray microscope. Focusing properties have been investigated using ptychography.
