Paper Abstract
We report on preliminary results of full aperture X-ray optical tests at the X-ray test facility at the University
of Colorado (USA) of four test modules of Kirkpatrick-Baez (KB) X-ray optical systems performed in August
2010. Direct experimental comparisons were made between gold-coated optics of two novel substrates: glass
foils and silicon wafers. The preliminary results are promising, with full-width half-maxima of full stacks
being of order of 30 arcsec in 2D full arrangement. These results justify further efforts to improve KB optics
for use in low-cost, high-performance space-borne astronomical imaging instruments for X-ray wavelengths.
