The Center for X-Ray Optics (CXRO) was established in 1984 at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). It has complementary roles: demonstrating the scientific capabilities and usefulness of the x-ray and extreme ultraviolet regions of the spectrum and developing equipment and techniques which make those capabilities widely and readily available. These techniques and equipment include state-of-the-art x-ray lenses and mirrors, monochromators optimized for high resolution and throughput, and optical systems for the utilization of partially coherent radiation for applications across the physical and life sciences.
