The authors present X-ray observations with the IPC aboard the Einstein Observatory of fields SA 57, SA 68, and UMi which possess deep optical and radio coverage. The X-ray sensitivity in the survey is ≡2×10-13ergs cm-2s-1. The number of X-ray sources detected is consistent with a log N(>S) - log S slope of ≡ -1.5. The fraction of extragalactic X-ray sources detected in radio is ≡60%. The fraction of active galactic nuclei in the X-ray sample is ⪉50% with the remaining fraction being composed of clusters and normal galaxies. These results are consistent with those obtained in the Einstein medium sensitivity survey.
