NEW CONSTRUCTIONS OF X-RAY LENSES FOR CONVERGING X-RAYS

摘要

New techniques for converging X-rays are described. These techniques can be used for the design of an X-ray lens for the converging of X-rays into a focal point or a focal volume using a point source or an extended source. The aim of this design is to add important new features over those of the previous suggested patented device. The additional features are to provide control of the size and shape of the focal volume, the beam shape, uniformity and quality, and ease of manufacturing.
