Scientific paper
Current knowledge concerning the deflection of X-rays from real mirrors is reviewed, with emphasis given to X-ray scattering for X-ray observation applications. The mirror configurations of a typical X-ray telescope are presented, and the status of current imaging capabilities in the field of X-ray optics is discussed. Consideration is also given to X-ray telescope fabrication techniques, including direct grinding and polishing. Among the specific instruments described are: the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) telescope; the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF) instrument; the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM) telescope; and the telescopes of the Einstein Observatory and Exosat.
