Abstract

The principle of operation, the distinctive features and the possibilities of using Kirkpatrick–Baez and Wolter focusing X-ray optics are considered. Various optical schemes of Kirkpatrick–Baez optics (classical, confocal, and advanced) and various line ups of Wolter mirrors (“nested”, conical, and porous) are described. The possibilities and methods for eliminating optical aberrations are considered. Special attention is paid to the use of focusing optics in full-field X-ray microscopes and X-ray telescopes.
