Abstract
The use of rotating modulation collimators in high resolution solar X-ray spectroscopy is discussed with reference to the recent flight of a sounding rocket payload. This rocket carried an experiment which combined a modulation collimator and a Bragg crystal spectrometer to make moderately high resolution spectral and spatial measurements simultaneously. The response of the instrument to extended sources is described. It is shown that the technique is particularly suited to long term observations of active region emission, but that useful measurements can be made even during a short rocket flight.
