High-resolution imaging is an essential tool for understanding nanoscale systems. In particular, tabletop extreme ultraviolet (EUV) coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) techniques based on high harmonic generation (HHG) are ideal for investigating complex nanostructured systems, including their static and dynamic electronic, phononic and magnetic properties. Tabletop EUV CDI combines elemental and chemical selectivity with nanometer spatial resolution, with pulse durations in the femtosecond (fs)-toattosecond (as) range [1][2][3][4][5]. In this work, we use ptychographic CDI [6][7] with high-spatial-coherence 13.5nm tabletop HHG to obtain 17.5nm spatial resolution images of a zone plate. This is the highest demonstrated resolution for a full-field tabletop microscope using any light source.In CDI, also known as lensless imaging, a coherent beam illuminates an object and the diffracted light is directly recorded on a charge-coupled device (CCD) far from the sample. The phase profile of the diffraction pattern, lost by the detector, is recovered computationally, and the object is reconstructed by numerically back-propagating this field [8]. In a newly-developed form of CDI called ptychography, many diffraction patterns are recorded as an illuminating beam is scanned across a sample. These patterns are combined with a phase retrieval algorithm to reconstruct the complex profiles of the object and probe beam. Ptychography provides excellent image fidelity compared to other techniques such as scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging [1,3,6], requires no contact with the sample, has a working distance of centimeters and does not suffer from adverse effects such as surface charging.We used an actively stabilized 13.5nm HHG source (KM Labs XUUS 4.0) driven by a 20fs, 2mJ, 3kHz, Ti:Sapphire laser centered at 785nm (KM Labs Dragon), and generated a flux which was 10 times higher than was previously possible using the same driving laser [2]. The HHG light was produced in a 150µm diameter waveguide filled with 500 Torr of He. Differential pumping helped maintain high vacuum before and after the waveguide. After the waveguide, the residual IR light was attenuated using a pair of ZrO 2 coated Si mirrors placed near Brewster's angle, together with a single 600nm thick Zr foil filter. A single harmonic was then selected using a pair of Si/Mo multilayer mirrors.The imaging setup is depicted in Fig. 1a. A flat mirror is followed by a curved mirror (radius of curvature 100mm), which focuses the beam onto the sample. The angle of incidence on the curved mirror is approximately 2.5°, resulting in a 2.7µm 1/e 2 diameter at the circle of least confusion. Diffraction from a zone plate test sample was collected by a CCD detector (Andor iKon, 2048x2048 pixels, 13.5µm pitch) placed 22.6mm from the sample. This geometry provided a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.4, corresponding to a half-pitch resolution of 17.5nm. The beam was scanned in an 11x11 grid with ≈0.8µm steps, with a total exposure time (121 diffraction patterns, two accumulations...
