We demonstrate extreme ultraviolet EUV and soft x-ray sources in the -to -nm spectral region related to the beyond extreme ultraviolet "EUV question at .x nm and a water window source based on laser-produced high-Z plasmas. Strong emissions from multiply charged ions merge to produce intense unresolved transition array UT" toward extending below the carbon K-edge . nm . "n outline of a microscope design for single-shot live-cell imaging is proposed based on a high-Z UT" plasma source, coupled
