Abstract
A microchannel plate (MCP) detector blank has been used to focus x rays of wavelength 0.154, 0.62, and 0.84 mm generated by a micro-focus x ray tube and a laser-produced plasma. The focusing effect of MCPs arises from total external reflection of x rays at the interior channel surfaces. Measurements of the intensity profiles of the images formed by the MCP have been made and compared with the predictions of a detailed model developed in a previously permitted paper. It was found that the model, which incorporates effects due to surface roughness, multiple reflections, channel misalignments, and finite source and collector sizes, gives a good description of the data. A consistent set of parameters was found from fits to the data at all three wavelengths. The channels of the MCP appear to be extremely regular, although the surfaces exhibited roughness which was estimated to have an RMS height variation of 16 {+-}1 nm and an autocorrelation length of 130 {+-}20nm. 13 refs., 7 figs.
