Large-aperture two-dimensional x-ray refractive mosaic lenses

Appl Opt. 2016 Sep 1;55(25):7138-41. doi: 10.1364/AO.55.007138.

Abstract

Lenses with high numerical aperture are required for images with very high spatial resolution, which is difficult to realize in the x-ray range because of low-refraction-index decrement and relatively high absorption of x-rays in the material. However, such an aperture can be realized by means of a mosaic lens, as shown in this work.
