We intoduce our novel method of super high resolution astronomical X-ray imaging, Multi Image X-ray Interferometer Method, Modules, Missions (MIXIM). In series of experiments on the ground we not only verified the concept of MIXIM but also realized 2D imaging with angular resolution better than 0. ′′1. Employment of small pixel size CMOS sensor was the key to this achievement. Scalability is also an important feature of MIXIM., and various mission format is available. We show some examples from a very small satellite for sub arcsecond resolution to a formation flight with a millions km separation to gain µas resolution. MIXIM is different from X-ray mirrors in various points, for example, it does not have a collecting power. Considering the limitations and advantages of MIXIM, we should choose bright apparently point-like sources as targets. Nearby AGNs are primary ones, and the MIXIM scope just corresponds to spatial scales which have not yet resolved in X-rays.
