The study of the X-ray properties of galaxies is discussed in terms of existing observational results and the capacity for interpreting the data. The NASA Einstein Observatory data is first examined to describe the X-ray properties of spiral and irregular galaxies as well as elliptical and SO galaxies. Issues that remain to be addressed can be explored by studying the X-ray properties of very luminous 'super-Eddington' sources, starburst galaxies, and different phases of the interstellar medium. The specific requirements are set forth for the observatories conducting the research; particular conditions are given for detecting galaxies, high-resolution studies of individual galaxies, bandwidth, spectral studies, and time-variability studies. An ideal X-ray telescope is described based on these conditions, the primary features of which are a collecting area greater than 100 sq m, a large bandwidth, and the capacity for both photometric and spectroscopic investigation.
