Hard x-ray microscopy with nanometer resolution will open frontiers in the study of materials and devices, environmental sciences, and life sciences by utilizing the unique characterization capabilities of x-rays. Here we report two-dimensional nanofocusing by multilayer Laue lenses (MLLs), a type of diffractive optics that is in principle capable of focusing x-rays to 1 nm. We demonstrate focusing to a 25 × 27 nm(2) FWHM spot with an efficiency of 2% at a photon energy of 12 keV, and to a 25 × 40 nm(2) FWHM spot with an efficiency of 17% at a photon energy of 19.5 keV.
