Abstract

A one-dimensional x-ray telescope of the Kirkpatrick–Baez design is described. The instrument consists of a grazing-incidence x-ray telescope and a multiwire proportional counter. The optics were provided with a gold reflecting surface to yield an energy response from below 0.25 to above 4.0 keV. The angular resolution of the system is 6′×9.5° over a 1.1°×9.5° field of view.
