Scientific paper

This paper discuses the imaging capabilities of normal-incidence X-ray telescopes that utilize multilayer mirrors. Parametric image quality predictions indicate that, provided that sufficiently smooth multilayer interfaces can be fabricated and maintained, a subarcsecond resolution is possible. However, the effects of optical fabrication errors over the entire range of relevant spatial frequencies may present a serious obstacle to realizing the theoretical predictions of high reflectance at normal incidence and high angular resolution.
