| Research Abstract |
High performance and light-weight space X-ray telescopes are now recognized as a key technology for next generation X-ray astronomy satellites. We are developing a novel ultra light-weight X-ray optics based on micromachining technologies. For the first time in the world, we have succeeded to verify X-ray reflection using Si and Ni X-ray mirrors fabricated by our method and to verify X-ray imaging using a test Si optics.
