Scientific paper

An X-ray lens using refraction has been proposed by Tomie (1997), and demonstrated for 14 keV X-rays by Snigirev et al. (1996) This type of lens is made from a series of very weak lens elements. The author calculated the properties of such lenses constructed of various chemical elements and compounds over the range of 1 to 30 keV. In general, he found that X-ray optics made from low density, low Z materials have the widest useful apertures, but require more lens elements than denser and higher Z materials.
