Abstract

An apparatus includes an x-ray optic system configured to receive x-rays from an x-ray source, to focus at least some of the x-rays to form a focused x-ray beam, and to irradiate a portion of a sample with the focused x-ray beam. The focused x-ray beam has a depth-of-focus and a focused x-ray spot at the sample. The apparatus further includes a microscope having an objective configured to receive and focus light from the portion of the sample. The objective has an object plane and a field-of-view. The object plane is within a range centered on the depth-of-focus of the focused x-ray beam, the range having a width ten times the depth-of-focus, and the focused x-ray spot is within the field-of-view of the objective.
