Tests of Lobster Eye Optics for Possible Space Mission
Original language description
The Lobster eye design for a grazing incidence X-ray optics provides wide field of view of the order of many degrees, for this reason it can be a convenient approach for the construnction of space all-sky X-ray monitors. We present preliminary results oftests of prototype lobster eye X-ray optics in quasi parallel beam full imaging mode conducted using the 35 meters long X-ray beam-line of INAF-OAPA in Palermo (Italy). X-ray images at the focal plane have been taken with a MCP detector at several energy values from 0.3 keV to 8 keV. The gain, the field of view and the angular resolution have been measured and compared with simulations.
