Abstract

Soft x-ray telescopes require filters that block visible and infrared light and have good soft x-ray transmission. The optical properties of possible materials are discussed, and the fabrication and testing methods for the filters used in a 10-inch normal incidence telescope for ? = 63 Å are described. The best performances in the ? = 44-114 Å wavelength range are obtained with foils of carbon and rhodium
