Composite x-ray pinholes having dichroic properties are presented. These pinholes permit both x-ray imaging and visible alignment with micron accuracy by presenting different apparent apertures in these widely disparate regions of the spectrum. Their use is mandatory in certain applications in which the x-ray detection consists of a limited number of resolvable elements whose use one wishes to maximize. Mating the pinhole camera with an x-ray streaking camera is described, along with experiments which spatially and temporally resolve the implosion of laser irradiated targets.
