Abstract

Soft X-ray imaging detection is usually made by using 101–01, 101–07, or SA1 Kodak films. Recent progress in thinned CCD fabrication allows us now to replace films by thinned CCDs to detect UV soft X-ray light with an enhanced sensitivity. We developed a thinned CCD system, and to demonstrate its applicability to replace photographic films we tested it behind a broad spectral range soft X-ray transmission grating spectrometer and a soft X-ray Mo/Si multilayer mirror telescope. Soft X-ray spectra and soft X-ray pictures of laser-created plasma are presented using these instruments implemented with a thinned CCD readout.
