Abstract
The working principle, the layout and the performance data of a simple Rowland circle soft x-ray monochromator of constant length are descri bed. By translating the grating while scanning the photon energy, defo cus, coma and some spherical aberrations vanish, yielding excellent re solution in the optimized energy range between 270 and 590 eV. This re sult is obtained while using all optical elements at full illumination . The achieved resolution ranks among the best worldwide. (C) 1998 Ame rican Institute of Physics.
