Scientific paper

Grazing incidence diffraction performance and imagery are discussed, with special reference to corrected systems. Throughout the period 1930-1970 the principal aim of X-ray grating research centered on the problem of the optimum groove profile and its practical realization. This was due to the fact that, unlike their optical or UV counterparts, X-ray gratings rarely diffracted more than a percent or so of the incident X-ray flux into any desired spectral order. This situation has now changed, and a new and perhaps more interesting period of optical design has begun, following the recent introduction of holographically-formed X-ray gratings. Some of the more recent results are discussed. They have been selected for their potential application to the problem of X-ray spectroscopy in space.
