We present a newly built laser-based tabletop setup for time resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of liquids and dissolved molecules. The system provides femtosecond extreme ultraviolet (XUV) light generated as high harmonic (HHG) from a titanium sapphire laser as the probe. The spatial, spectral, and temporal characteristics of the XUV beam are presented. Monochromatization of the XUV light with minimum temporal pulse distortion is the central issue of this work. Off-center reflection zone plates are shown to be superior to gratings when selection of a desired harmonic is carried out with the use of a single optical element. A cross-correlation technique was applied to characterize the performance of the zone plates in the time domain. By using laser pulses of 25 fs length to pump the HHG process, a pulse duration of 45 fs for monochromatized harmonics was achieved.
