Description
Based on their book "X-Ray Science and Technology", here Michette and Buckley present modern aspects of research in x-ray science at a level suitable for starting postgraduate students, researchers who are new to the field and other scientists working at synchrotron radiation facilities. Each chapter contains additional sections, especially new or improved lab sources, optics, or applications.
The highly regarded authors describe and explain the sources of x-rays and how they compare, x-ray manipulation and detection, the use of x-rays in different areas, as well as the manufacture of x-ray optical devices. As a result, readers gain a solid grounding in fundamental x-ray optics and techniques.
The book includes worked examples and problems, as well as a list of further reading. Some example programs are also provided, such as for calculating multilayer reflectivity and zone plate diffraction patterns.
Equally a useful reference for experienced researchers in the field.

Persons
Alan Michette obtained his B.S. degree in physics and Ph.D. degree in particle physics at University College London. After a short spell as a postdoctoral fellow at UCL, he spent four years at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory before taking up a lectureship in physics at Queen Elizabeth College London, where he started his current main research programe in x-ray physics. He then moved to King's College London in 1984. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and of the Royal Microscopical Society. His research interests are in the x-ray emission of laser produced plasmas, the development of novel (including adaptive) x-ray optics, and the application of these technologies in advanced laboratory scale x-ray instruments. He is currently a Team Leader in the UK Smart X-Ray Optics consortium, chair of the Management Committee of the European Science Foundation COST Action "Short Wavelength Laboratory Sources", and Course Leader for the Masters by Research in Bio-, Nano-, and X-Ray Photonics at King's College.
Slawomira J. Pfauntsch received her PhD from the department of X-Ray Science & Technology at King's College. Since 1993 she is there research assistant/associate in Physics. Her current research interest lies in soft x-ray laser-plasma sources and optics, for high resolution microscopy and cellular probing, and x-ray detectors. Furthermore she is teaching assistance in Image and X-Ray Physics.
