Atomic jet: First lens for extreme-ultraviolet light developed

Scientists have developed the first refractive lens that focuses extreme ultraviolet beams. Instead of using a glass lens, which is non-transparent in the extreme-ultraviolet region, the researchers have demonstrated a lens that is formed by a jet of atoms. The results provide novel opportunities for the imaging of biological samples on the shortest timescales.
