Yes, one advantage of XRM is working at the water window for "live" or "vapor pressure" specimens. Although, recently, SEM manufacturers have made available a "variable pressure" option to allow running SEM in the presence of water vapor. We are just about to purchase such a unit. Coincidently, I had worked with the Swedish group a few years ago, when they were looking into adapting their plasma x-ray source for use in x-ray lithography. I really like the design of their source, which has some advantages over the targets used by JMAR IMO. I had referred them to JMAR a couple years ago, but I don't think anything came of it at the time. I might revisit that some day.
