In contrast to existing scanning pencil beam systems Lobster Eye X-Ray Imaging Systems true. A team of academics researchers and engineers have designed built tested and now delivered a bespoke mirror for the MXT instrument to be carried on board the Chinese-French satellite observatory.

Its eyes are a microchannel plate a thin curved slab of material dotted with tiny tubes across the surface.

Lobster x ray. The lobster eye essentially an array of tube-like channels with a square cross-section was proposed as the basis of an X-ray all-sky monitor by Roger Angel of the University of Arizona in. The Lobster-Eye LE X-ray telescope can be miniaturized for an application in picosatellites. The alternative x-ray optics geometries achieving very large fields of view have been theoretically suggested in the 70s but have been not constructed and used so far.

The Lobster Eye Wide Field X-ray telescopes in Schmidt arrangements are based on perpendicular arrays of double-sided X-ray reflecting flats. Astronomers had wanted a telescope that could focus X-rays from certain heavenly bodies but there was no practical lens that would focus X-rays. Modeling the focusing efficiency of lobster-eye optics for image shifting depending on the soft x-ray wavelength.

We review the design and basic properties of the wide-field x-ray optical system based on one- and two-dimensional lobster-eye geometry and suggest technologies for their development and construction. Traditional X-ray mirrors are very heavy and so are very expensive to carry into space. A new optical configuration for grazing-incidence imaging X-ray telescopes is described that is similar to the reflective eyes of macruran crustaceans such as lobsters.

The Lobster-Eye wide-field X-ray optics has been suggested in the seventies by Schmidt 10 orthogonal stacks of reflectors and by Angel 2 array of square cells. The LE optics are based on a real analogy with the lobster eyes. In the first Lobster lenses developed and tested double-sided reflecting flats produced by epoxy sandwich technology as well as gold coated glass foils have been used 12 13.

But until recently their field of vision has been relatively narrow making it difficult to capture this unexpected activity. Michael Gertsenshteyn Gajendra Savant and Tomasz Jannson. X-ray astrophysical facility Introduction The X-ray sky including the known and yet unknown microquasars is highly variable rich in variable and transient sources of both galactic as well as extragalactic origin.

Luning Su Wei Li Mingxuan Wu Yun Su Chongling Guo Ningjuan Ruan Bingxin Yang and Feng Yan. The Czech experiments astrophysical object of study is the Vela pulsar in the centre of the Vela nebula. The Lobster-eye optics represents a promising way of very wide field X-ray imaging with numerous applications especially in future X-ray astronomy projects and in fast yet sensitive monitoring of.

X-ray light enters these tubes from multiple angles and is focused through grazing-incident reflection giving the technology a wide field of view necessary for finding and then imaging transient events that cannot be predicted in advance. This novel X-ray optics offers an excellent opportunity to achieve very wide FOV 1000 square degrees and more while the. The LEXID can see through concrete wood and 3-inch.

By their nature x-rays are difficult to focus refractively. Based on the Lobster-Eye focusing light theory the X-ray imaging technology was first proposed in the 1970s with advantages of large field-of-view. Its eyes are a microchannel plate a thin curved slab of material dotted with tiny tubes across the surface.

Up to 180 deg field of view FOV may be achieved. X-ray space telescopes can be used to study big events like the formation of black holes. Using lobster-eye optics in hard-x-ray imaging systems.

Inspired by a lobsters vision the crustaceans pea-sized eyes give it wide-angle vision it is called the lobster-eye X-ray telescope. Lobster Eye focuses outer space X-rays. A Lobster Eye X-ray Imaging System based on a unique Lobster Eye LE structure X-ray generator scintillator-based detector and cooled CCD or Intensified CCD for real-time safe staring Compton backscatter X-ray detection of objects hidden under ground in containers behind walls bulkheads etc.

This new design allows telescopes to be much lighter than those currently in use and it also allows vastly wider pictures of the sky to be captured through use of a lobster lens so-called because the design is closely based on the eyes of lobsters. Pioneered by researchers at the United Kingdoms University of Leicester a partner in STORMs development lobster X-ray optics work the same way. 5622 6267-6271 2017 Lobster-eye x.

A new scanner in development at Physical Optics Corporation and funded by the US. The lobster X-ray instruments optics would work the same way. The corporation has created a scanner appropriately called the Lobster Eye X-Ray Imaging Device LEXID which imitates the lobsters vision system.

A technique that allows soft x-rays to be focused using reflective elements that mimic a lobsters eye is extended to hard x-rays. Its eyes are a microchannel plate a thin curved slab of material dotted with tiny tubes across the surface. How lobsters are helping us see into space.

Among the physically most important transient sources the detection of Gamma-Ray Bursts GRBs in X-rays conﬁrms. Space scientists at the University of Leicester have delivered a completely new type of super-lightweight X-ray telescope mirror to study the greatest explosions in the Universe since the Big Bang. A classical X-ray optics of Wolter type has the FOV of only 1 deg or less.

The Czech team developed a hard X-ray Lobster-eye telescope as a secondary payload. The LE tele-scopes are novel wide ﬁeld X-ray telescopes with the ﬁeld of view FOV of typically 100 sq. It uses an optics system made of thousands of tiny metallic squares that align the x-rays and reflect them into a small focused area.

Not only does the lobster eye have all the earmarks of being designed by a master designer it has also inspired human designers. 7 November 2021 300 pm. Lobster eyes as X-ray telescopes.

Its called the Lobster Eye X-ray Imaging Device LEXID and it replicates the crustaceans optical system to a. The lobster X-ray instruments optics would work the same way. Department of Homeland Security incorporates a lobsters reflection-based eyesight.
