» Tests of Lobster Eye Optics for Possible Space Mission

Presenter: Vladimir Tichy

Prototype lobster eye optics module called P-25 manufactured in Rigaku Innovative Technologies Europe, s.r.o. is presented. This module has small mass and dimensions and it can be applied on micro- or nano-satellite. Results of its X-ray tests obtained using quasi parallel X-ray beam in National Institute for Astrophysics of University of Palermo are presented. The Field of view, the gain and the angular resolution of the named optics are estimated. Results are compared to simulations.
