  • Method of and means for testing a glancing-incidence mirror system of an X-ray telescope
    Patent number: 4063088
    Abstract: Apparatus for testing a glancing-incidence mirror system for an X-ray telescope, wherein the system has an even number of coaxial and confocal reflecting surfaces, includes an X-ray laser for generating a collimated beam of X-rays directed along the axis of the system so that the beam is incident on the reflecting surfaces and illuminates a predetermined area thereof. An X-ray detector, such as a photographic film, is located at the common focus of the surfaces so that the image thereon produced by the X-rays will provide a measure of the resolution and efficiency of the system.
