We present results of x-ray resonance exchange scattering (XRES) from single crystal Ca2RuO4, performed at the Ru L2 and L3 absorption edges at photon energies between 2.8 keV and 3 keV. A large resonance enhancement of the magnetic signal is observed. Its origin lies in the 2p → 4d dipolar electronic transitions that probe directly the 4d orbitals, which are responsible for magnetism. This provides new possibilities of studying the magnetic properties, as well as possible charge- and orbital- ordering in 4d transition metal compounds. The enhancement at K-edges, where the d-orbitals are only probed indirectly via the p-orbitals, is generally much weaker.
