Spaceborne grazing-incidence X-ray astronomical optics, which require a large aperture in conjunction with X-ray sources essentially lying at infinity, are difficult to approximate test conditions for, especially with conventional X-ray generators. Attention is presently given to synchrotron radiation (SR) sources, which are sufficiently brilliant to yield a nearly perfectly-parallel beam over a large area while maintaining a flux that is substantially greater than that available from X-ray generators. A grazing-incidence X-ray telescopy test facility is proposed for the SR source at Britain's Daresbury Laboratory.
