Scientific paper

The optical properties of soft X-ray telescope (SXT) aboard Solar-A are analyzed and the characteristics of the SXT Wolter type-I mirror are described. The effects of defocusing, decentering, and tilting the mirrors, and of the paraboloid length at the optimal image plane on the diameter of rms blur circle were determined. The tolerance limits for the focusing, the centering of the mirrors, and the angle between the mirrors were estimated to be 50 microns, 10 microns, and 0.7 arcsec, respectively. Using the SXT, the whole sun can be observed with the resolution better than 3 arcsec.
