The European X-ray Observatory, EXOSAT, to be launched in 1981, will carry two Wolter I X-ray telescopes, each having a geometric area of approximately 100 sq cm. A qualification model of the Wolter I optics has been manufactured and extensively tested in optical and X-ray beams. The influence of manufacturing tolerances on the resolution of the optics is discussed, and mechanical and optical measurements of those deviations are presented. Finally, the X-ray imaging quality of the optics is presented, and the correlation with the achieved tolerances is shown.
