Experimental set-up (IMAGE)
Caption
The scientists used a lens consisting of precisely arranged concentric layers to image two semiconductor nanowires. This lens, with a diameter of less than one fiftieth of a millimetre, was then adjusted between the object to be imaged and an X-ray camera in the extremely bright and and focussed X-ray beam at the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY). Incorporating precise measurements about the imperfections of the lens into their algorithms enabled them to decode the information and construct a sharp image.precisely arranged concentric layers to image two semiconductor nanowires
