Paper Abstract
We present an innovative X-ray telescope design for diffraction-limited imaging on the mas scale. The long focal
distance scheme is based on dispersion-corrected Fresnel lenses made of Li and Be. Annular apertures with an outer
diameter of 3.5 m permit simultaneously focused X-rays in two energy bands around 5 and 10 keV. Concentrated to
focal spot sizes of ~ 1 mm, a photon throughput of ~ 1400 cm2 keV is achieved in the soft and hard band as well. With
its partial spectroscopic capability, the device might be preferably suited for measurements of hardness ratios in X-ray
emitting coronae of nearby stars and even disc-to-jet conversion mechanisms within AGN.
