Scientific paper

This paper describes the growth of X-ray astronomy instrumentation from simple, single function, instruments performing survey measurements with crude spectral, spatial and temporal resolution to complex, multiple detector, instruments capable of observing selected phenomena and sources with extremely fine resolution. Examples of solar X-ray instrumentation that are discussed include OSO-IV, Apollo Telescope Mount and proposed Solar Maximum Mission instruments. Stellar X-ray instrumentation examples include UHURU, Astronomy Netherlands Satellite and HEAO-B instruments. Design details are provided and instrument parameters are compared to illustrate the evolutionary process.
