Results are presented on a calibration with X-rays of a front-illuminated virtual phase CCD with a 1024 x 1024 pixel array, performed as a part of the Solar-A preparation, which is a joint Japanese-U.S.-UK space project scheduled for a launch in August 1991. In the experiment, absolute quantum efficiency (QE) of a virtual CCD was measured at 14 wavelengths between 5.4 and 67.7 A, and its flat field responses to the illumination by C-K and Al-K X-rays were investigated together with its imaging properties in visible light. Higher than expected QE measurements were obtained at soft X-ray and EUV wavelengths; these are considered to be caused by fluorescence occurring in the absorbing layers on the CCD-entrance aperture.
