    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of an x-ray imaging system configuration.
    • Utilizing confocal and coaxial ellipsoid and hyperboloid mirrors.
    • Characterization of spatial resolution, field of view, and collecting solid angle.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved spatial resolution of 1-3 micrometers.
    • Demonstrated a useful field of view spanning hundreds of microns.
    • Obtained a collecting solid angle at least 1000 times greater than a pinhole camera.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed x-ray imaging system provides high spatial resolution and superior light collection efficiency.
    • The instrument is well-suited for detailed diagnostics of laser-pellet interactions.
    • This technology advances the capabilities for studying high-energy density physics experiments.
