Steps in the derivation of generalized surface equations describing either a Wolter or Wolter-Schwarzschild type II extreme ultraviolet telescope are outlined. These surface equations are incorporated in an optical design program where first-order design parameters are varied to produce a number of different series of type II telescopes. These series are then ray traced to compare and analyze the geometric image quality for different designs in terms of minimum rms angular blur and field curvature. Results of an analysis illustrating the dependence of effective area on first-order design parameters are also presented. The differences and similarities between equivalent Wolter and Wolter-Schwarzschild designs are discussed.
