» Lobster Eye Imaging Properties
Presentation duration: 30 minutes
Presenter: Libor Švéda
Lobster eye optics, as a wide field of view imaging system, is perfectly suited for x-ray astronomy but can be useful also in the lab. We discuss the mirror design consequences on the resulting imaging properties of the system. Corrections of various image distortions and imperfections, either geometric, spectral or temporal in case of scanning observations have to be applied in order to get a valuable instrument. Some of the imperfections are demonstrated on the laboratory experiments. Further, several image processing methods are discussed and its strengths and weaknesses are shown.
