Abstract
A device for improving resolution capability of an x-ray optical apparatus for an x-ray incident from a direction of incidence includes a mirror element including a mirror edge formed as a cylindrical shell section around an edge axis. The mirror element is spaced apart, in a radial direction, from a focal axis that is parallel to the direction of incidence. The edge axis is oriented at a first non-zero angle relative to the focal axis when viewed along a radial axis. The edge axis is oriented at a second non-zero angle relative to the focal axis.
Claims22
A device for improving resolution capability of an x-ray optical apparatus for an x-ray incident from a direction of incidence, comprising:
- a mirror element comprising a mirror edge formed as a cylindrical shell section around an edge axis,
- wherein the mirror element is spaced apart, in a radial direction, from a focal axis that is parallel to the direction of incidence,
- the edge axis is oriented at a first non-zero angle relative to the focal axis when viewed along a radial axis, and
- the edge axis is oriented at a second non-zero angle relative to the focal axis.
A device for improving resolution of an x-ray optical apparatus associated with an x-ray incident from a direction of incidence, comprising:
- a mirror element having a first portion and a second portion adjacent the first portion,
- wherein the first portion comprises a first cylindrical shell section formed around a first edge axis tilted at a first non-zero angle relative to a focal axis that is parallel to the direction of incidence,
- the second portion comprises a second cylindrical shell section formed around a second edge axis tilted at a second non-zero angle relative to the focal axis, the second non-zero angle being different from the first non-zero angle, and
- the first edge axis and the second edge axis are oriented at a third non-zero angle relative to the focal axis when viewed along a radial axis in a radial direction.
