Figure P.5.120 shows a glancing-incidence X-ray focusing system designed in 1952 by Hans Wolter. Fill in the missing portion of each ray. How many reflections does each ray undergo? How does the device work? Microscopes with this type of system have been used to photograph, in X-rays, the implosion of fuel pellet targets in laser fusion research. Similar X-ray optical arrangements have been used in astronomical telescopes.
