Nested Mirror Assemblies

Nested Mirror Assemblies is a specialized optical system in X-ray astronomy comprising a set of coaxially aligned, confocal grazing-incidence mirrors arranged in decreasing diameter and increasing focal length to maximize effective collecting area while enabling high-angular-resolution imaging of X-ray sources.
