Explore: X Ray Optics

X-ray optics is the branch of optics dealing with X-rays, rather than visible light. It deals with focusing and other ways of manipulating the X-ray beams

Early X-ray microscopes by Paul Kirkpatrick and Albert Baez used grazing-incidence reflective X-ray optics to focus the X-rays, which grazed X-rays off

x-ray optics, Van Speybroeck was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1989 for "continued contributions to the development of x-ray optics

detect X-rays must be taken to high altitude by balloons, sounding rockets, and satellites. The basic elements of the telescope are the optics (focusing

X-ray astronomy is an observational branch of astronomy which deals with the study of X-ray observation and detection from astronomical objects. X-radiation

Lobster-eye optics are a biomimetic design, based on the structure of the eyes of a lobster with an ultra-wide field of view, used in X-ray optics. This configuration

Geometrical optics, or ray optics, is a model of optics that describes light propagation in terms of rays. The ray in geometrical optics is an abstraction
