It is significant to note field aberrations (chromatic field aberration, coma, astigmatism and blurring due to curvature of field, defined by Glaser's aberration theory relative to the Blenden Freien System) of the objective lens in connection with the following three points of view; field aberrations increase as the resolution of the axial point improves by increasing the lens excitation (k2) and decreasing the half width value (d) of the axial lens field distribution; when one or all of the imaging lenses have axial imperfections such as beam deflection in image space by the asymmetrical magnetic leakage flux, the apparent axial point has field aberrations which prevent the theoretical resolution limit from being obtained.

A monolithic, polycapillary, x-ray optic was adapted to a laboratory-based x-ray microprobe to evaluate the potential of the optic for x-ray micro fluorescence analysis. The polycapillary was capable of collecting x-rays over a 6 degree angle from a point source and focusing them to a spot approximately 40 µm diameter. The high intensities expected from this capillary should be useful for determining and mapping minor to trace elements in materials. Fig. 1 shows a sketch of the capillary with important dimensions.The microprobe had previously been used with straight and with tapered monocapillaries. Alignment of the monocapillaries with the focal spot was accomplished by electromagnetically scanning the focal spot over the beveled anode. With the polycapillary it was also necessary to manually adjust the distance between the focal spot and the polycapillary.The focal distance and focal spot diameter of the polycapillary were determined from a series of edge scans.

Zusammenfassung. Wir berichten über einen 58-jährigen Patienten mit seit Monaten bestehender B-Symptomatik, rezidivierenden Fieberschüben begleitet von Kopfschmerzen und erhöhten Entzündungsparametern. In der Erstlinienabklärung ergaben sich keine eindeutigen Hinweise auf eine infektiologische oder rheumatologische Ursache, auffällig war lediglich eine mediastinale und hiläre Lymphadenopathie. Zum Ausschluss eines Malignoms wurde eine PET-CT durchgeführt, in der sich eine FDG-Aufnahme im Bereich der grossen Gefässe zeigte, passend zu einer Riesenzellarteritis. Bei eindeutigem Befund konnte auf einen Temporalarterienbiopsie verzichtet und eine Therapie mit Glukokortikoiden begonnen werden.
