An x-ray fluorescence microprobe with linear Bragg-Fresnel lens was te
sted at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility Microfocus beamlin
e. A focal line with a width of 0.8 mum was observed using the knife-e
dge technique at a wavelength of 0.85 angstrom (14.6 eV). Wiener filte
ring with the Fast Fourier Transformation was applied to solve a convo
lution equation to evaluate the size of the probe from fluorescence da
ta.
