Scientific paper

An automated figure formation system for Kirkpatrick-Baez geometry grazing incidence X-ray mirrors is described. The system is based on microcomputer and utilizes primarily commercially available equipment. The mirror assemblies currently being manufactured for the LAMAR experiment attain an angular resolution of about 30 arc sec (50 percent power diameter) on axis. The angular resolution is limited by the float glass used for the mirror plates, not the figure formation process.
