Paper Abstract
The design of a wide field imaging camera suitable for use with a glancing incidence X-ray telescope is complicated by the sharply concave nature of the optimum focal surface of such a telescope. We are currently designing such a camera made up of a mosaic of Charge Coupled Devices (CCD's) intended for flight aboard the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF). We discuss the design rationale and tradeoffs and present our layout for the imaging CCD array. We also discuss the related issue of optimizing performance of transmission objective gratings and present the array of CCD orientations suitable for this problem.
