We have developed a laser-plasma soft X-ray microscope composed of an intense short pulsed soft X-ray source and a contact microscopy system in which soft X-rays are irradiating onto biological cells directly cultivated on a recording media, an X-ray photo resist, and succeeded in observing inner structures of living biological cells. Using a fluorescence microscope with the soft X-ray microscope to observe the same biological cells at the same time, accurate identification and high resolved observation of cellular organelles have been achieved such as inner structure of Leydig cells from mouse testis, structural deformation of apoptotic HeLa S3 nuclei and mouse immune cells. In the case of the immune cells we have found structural changes possibly attributed to the activation of immune function.

A laser-plasma soft X-ray microscope which is combination of a highly intense laser-plasma soft X-ray source and contact microscopy has been developed. We have proposed a correlative microscopy with the laser-plasma soft X-ray microscope and a fluorescent microscope that is to observe the same biological cells with the both microscopes at the same time. Live hydrated biological cells and various cellular organelles of them have been observed with the correlative microscopy. Using the information of the cellular organelles obtained with the fluorescence microscope, inner structures obtained with the soft X-ray microscope are exactly identified. Since the spatial resolution of the soft X-ray microscope is much higher than that of the fluorescent microscope, fine structures of the cellular organelles of the live biological cells have been visualized with the correlative microscopy.
