Scientific paper
Ten years of R&D on the XMM mirror system have produced a technology with capabilities well beyond the specification required for XMM. Incorporating relatively minor changes and improvements it can provide provide telescope mirrors with a spacial resolution of approximately 5" and collecting areas in excess of 4000 cm2 at 1 keV for use in the Next Generation of X ray Observatories. With conventional gold reflecting surface the high energy response extends to approximately 15 keV. Using multilayers it is likely that the useful response can be pushed to as high as 60 keV.
