Practice:
To ensure that high resolution mirror assemblies for grazing incidence x-ray optical systems meet their requirements, image quality must be predicted during design and verified during fabrication by modeling the system for in-orbit and x-ray test configurations. Computer based modeling programs should be used to verify that both the initial design and the as-built configurations will reliably produce the required image quality.
