Full-field x-ray scattering microscopic images were obtained with a Wolter mirror (×10 magnification). A synchrotron radiation white beam (4–20 keV) from a bending magnet beamline at the Photon Factory was used to obtain x-ray scattering images. The system was available for multi-kilo-electron-volt x-ray range (4–12 keV) with the Wolter mirror. The image was formed only with scattered x rays from the object, which is kind of a dark-field image. Very low absorptive materials could be imaged with this microscope. Sensitivity of the system was evaluated and also the detection limit was estimated.
