Product IntroductionAdvanced KB mirror (1D Wolter mirror)

In X-ray astronomical microscopes, Wolter mirrors are used as the imaging optical system. A Wolter mirror is a two-reflection mirror that combines a rotationally elliptical surface and a rotationally hyperbolic surface, and it excels at forming images over a wide field of view. Our Advanced KB mirror is composed of two Wolter mirrors to focus X-rays in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively.
In actual image testing, JTEC’s Advanced KB mirror (PV 2 nm) achieved sufficient resolution to meet the condition of 50 nm minimum line width. This is the world’s highest resolution in an X-ray microscope without chromatic aberration. Due to its ability to maintain the size (area) of its focal point even when the incident angle has slightly deviated, the Advanced KB mirror provides a stable area of focus that is robust against conditions, such as temperature drift or vibration.
