N1 - Funding Information:
We are very grateful to the NSLS staff for their dedicated efforts in support of our work in X-ray microscopy . Nigel Arnot, Sid Bhargava, Fernando Camilo, Nasif Iskander, and Graham Smith have contributed substantially to various parts of the project over the past two years. Work at the NSLS is supported by the U .S . Department of Energy under Contract DE-AC02-76CH00016 ; the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory work is supported by the Department of Energy under Contract DE-AC03-76SF00098 and by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research under Contract F-49620-87-K-0001.

N2 - The scanning transmission soft X-ray microscope (STXM) that has been under development at the National Synchrotron Light Source [H. Rarback et al., Rev. Sci. Instr. 59 (1988) 52] has been substantially ungraded for operation with the X1 undulator [C. Buckley et al., Rev. Sci. Instr. 60 (1989) 2444]. The principal new features are: optical prefocusing, using a visible light interferometer; a dedicated VAXstation 3200 with a more user friendly and flexible software system for image acquisition and analysis; a flow cell that makes it possible not only to keep the specimen wet during exposure, but to change the fluid around the specimen as well; and a more compact proportional counter that is capable of counting rates of several MHz. In conjunction with new zone plates of better resolution and higher efficiency [E.H. Anderson, SPIE 1160 (1989) 2], the microscope is ready for a period of extended use in biological imaging.
