Abstract
The development of techniques for the fabrication of multilayer coated mirrors which can function as energy selective X-ray and XUV mirrors at normal incidence has greatly expanded the options available to the astronomical spectroscopist. A rocket spectroheliograph which utilizes multilayer optics in three configurations has been developed. These are: (1) as Cassegrain telescopes for imaging at 256 A (He II) and 173 A (Fe IX, X); (2) as tertiary mirrors used with a conventional Wolter I telescope for imaging at 44 A (Si XI, XII), 173 A, and 256 A; and (3) as off-axis spherical mirrors for imaging at 44 A and 256 A. The paper reports on laboratory images and performance measurements obtained with these optical systems, and briefly on Solar Observations.
