    Resonant soft X-ray scattering (RSoXS) is a powerful tool for chemically and orientationally resolved nano-to-mesoscale characterization of complex molecular materials. Through its development over the past 15 years, its use has been extended to uniquely characterize structures, not only dry, thin films for devices, coatings, photolithography, and liquid crystalline ordering, but also solvated nanostructures in biology for therapeutics and hydrated membranes for filtration or biosensing. Here, we review progress in this exciting and maturing technique with an eye toward the materials scientist or engineer who has little experience with RSoXS but would like to know more about how the technique would fit into their toolset.

    We report on the construction and characterization of a low-cost Mach–Zehnder optical interferometer in which quadrature signal detection is achieved by means of polarization control. The device incorporates a generic green laser pointer, home-built photodetectors, 3D-printed optical mounts, a circular polarizer extracted from a pair of 3D movie glasses, and a python-enabled microcontroller for analog-to-digital data acquisition. Components fit inside of a [Formula: see text] space and can be assembled on a budget of less than US$500. The device has the potential to make quadrature interferometry accessible and affordable for instructors, students, and enthusiasts alike.
