Next Generation 2D Focusing X-ray Mirror Lights up the Future
Concentrating X-ray by Reflection
Webpage for high-precision X-ray mirror
Why do we concentrate X-ray at a single point?
Because it increases their energy density, making the X-rays stronger and brighter, which allows for clearer observation of objects.
How do we concentrate X-ray?
The “Next Generation 2D Focusing X-ray Mirror” efficiently concentrates X-ray with its two features, “the most ideal curved surface” and "the smoothest surface”.
- Ideal Curved Surface
- Ideal curved surface like parabolic antenna to concentrate X-rays
- Ultra Smooth Surface
- Ultra smooth surface that can concentrate X-rays most efficiently
Unevenness ±1 nanometer at 100 mm
For example, the unevenness is
less than 0.5 mm over a distance of 500 km
from Osaka to Tokyo!
Where are the focusing mirrors used?
They are used in synchrotron radiation facilities around the world.
What did we find using X-ray mirrors?
How do we make X-ray mirrors?
Repeating the process of “measuring” and “polishing” in atomic size, we create “the most ideal curved surfaces” and “the smoothest surfaces”.
What is atomic size?
0.1 nanometer
