abstract = {To detect faint signals from weakly scattering samples,
high-resolution x-ray microscopy typically requires a high
photon flux. This exposes samples to high radiation doses
and can cause radiation damage. In this work we propose the
use of annular optics in scanning microscopy as an
alternative to full-aperture optics. Annular optics act as
high-pass filters that produce a stronger signal from edges.
Compared to regular optics with the same numerical aperture,
annular optics expose the sample to less dose while
producing the same signal from small sample features.
Annular optics benefit significantly from the high photon
fluxes of the latest x-ray sources to compensate for their
overall smaller cross section. Using numerical simulations,
we show that annular optics offer superior optical
performance for sample features close to the resolution
limit of the optic.},
