SUMMARY Some of the X‐ray microscopy work being performed at the Central Laser Facility (CLF) is reviewed. The X‐ray sources generated by the high power glass and gas lasers, Vulcan and Sprite, are discussed and compared with other sources. The instrumentation used to perform X‐ray microscopy of laser driven implosions at the CLF is outlined and the results obtained shown. Other experimental work utilizing the intense X‐ray emission properties of laser produced plasmas is reviewed and details of work involving X‐ray diffraction, EXAFS and X‐ray microscopy of biological samples is given.
