A synchrotron-based X-ray imaging technique that combines high-resolution spectroscopy with nano-imaging. In this technique, incident X-rays are focused by a Fresnel zone plate (FZP) to create a nano-sized probe spot that is irradiated onto the sample for point-by-point scanning. A downstream detector records the transmitted light intensity point-by-point, which is organized by a computer to form a transmission image of the sample. These images provide detailed chemical and structural information of the sample with high spatial resolution .
