New series of polycapillary lens is developed for medium hard x-rays. At the x-ray energy about 50 keV these lenses give intensity gain in the focal spot (~O.15 mm dia.) at the distance ~0.5m more than two orders of magnitude compared to the direct beam through a pinhole. At 25 keV the gain exceeds 103. At 22 keV x-ray energy (Ag line) these lenses transmit more than 25% of radiation falling onto entrance window with resultant effective capture solid angles up to 5•10-4 steradian (25 mrad or 1.4 degree flat angle) and up to 3% with effective capture angles 5•10-5 steradian (8 mrad or 0.45 degree flat) at 50 keV.
Presented are spectral transmission data for such lenses with focal distances 100 to 250 mm. Radial distribution of transmission over the lens input window is also measured. Experimental results are compared with computer calculation.
