Scientific paper

The scientific instrumentation on board the x-ray astronomy satellite SAX includes a medium energy concentrator/spectrometer (MECS), operating in the energy range 1.3 - 10 keV, which consists of three identical instruments, each composed by a grazing incidence mirror unit with focal length of 1850 mm and by a position sensitive gas scintillation proportional counter. The MECS flight instruments have been calibrated at the X-ray PANTER facility of the Max Planck Institute and the preliminary results are presented in the paper.
