Scientific paper

The discussion deals with such important stages of X-ray telescope mirror production as selection of the mirror material and the blank manufacturing method; machining of the blank to form; overcoating of metal substrates with more polishable materials; and lapping and polishing. Another important feature is the measurement of surface figure and quality at the various fabrication stages to ensure that the mirrors will be made to the specified tolerances. A sufficiently well developed X-ray optical design theory is required to enable manufacturing tolerances to be properly calculated.
