Method for assembling an imaging x-ray optic.

摘要

Method for assembling an imaging x-ray optic utilizing wedged mirror plates in a Wolter-I configuration wherein the difference in wedge between two stacked plate pairs is 2 wedge units. The wedged mirror plates are manufactured by using commercial high-quality silicon wafers which are diced, structured, wedged, coated, bent and stacked. Two of such stacks are then assembled into a confocal configuration to form a mirror module, which is a complete x-ray imaging system. Hundreds of such mirror modules are finally integrated and mounted to form an x-ray optic.
