A method for assembling an optical unit with coaxial shells, in particular for an x-ray telescope

摘要

The invention relates to a method for assembling an optical array (10) that has a first (5) and a second (4) longitudinal end comprising N coaxial shells forming elementary mirrors (37), whereby each shell extends between the first (5) and second (4) ends and has a first diameter at the first end (5) and a second diameter that is larger than the first at the second opposing end (4). The invention is characterized in that it comprises the following: 1) the first end (5) of the first shell (36) that is located the furthermost from the optical array is installed on a support (20), 2) the first end of the second shell that is immediately adjacent in the optical array (10) is installed on the support and N/ the first end of the Nth shell that is located the closest internally to the optical array (10) is placed on the support .
