Mirror Segmentation

Mirror Segmentation is a methodological technique in X-ray telescope design that involves partitioning a full-shell reflective mirror into discrete, precisely aligned annular sections to enable high-resolution imaging while accommodating the constraints of grazing-incidence optics and mechanical stability.
