Advanced X-ray Optical Systems: From innovative idea to intelligent implementation.

该项目结合了墨尔本大学x射线物理组在x射线光学方面取得的进展，以及斯威本理工大学和阿贡国家实验室同步加速器开发的精密微加工技术。这种融合使我们能够立即进入一个主要的空间科学计划-国际空间站的X射线望远镜。与此同时，我们将建立一个卓越的核心，基于X射线成像的新方法，这将是战略性的，成为澳大利亚同步加速器实验设施发展的一个组成部分。

This project combines advances made in x-ray optics by the x-ray physics group at the University of Melbourne with sophisticated microfabrication techniques developed at Swinburne University of Technology and at the Argonne National Laboratory synchrotron. This fusion gives us immediate access into a major space science initiative - an x-ray telescope for the International Space Station. At the same time we will be building a kernel of excellence, based on new approaches to x-ray imaging, that will be strategically placed to become an integral part of the development of experimental facilities for the Australian Synchrotron.
