Profile reconstruction of grazing-incidence X-ray mirrors from intra-focal X-ray full imaging

D. Spiga, S. Basso, M. Bavdaz +11

The optics of a number of future X-ray telescopes will have very long focal lengths (10 - 20 m), and will consist of a number of nested/stacked thin, grazing-incidence mirrors. The…
