Classical X-ray mirror optics usually has a limited Field of View (FoV) of ∼ 1°. Wide-field imaging can be achieved by lobster-eye type reflecting X-ray optics. We summarise several different approaches and suggest an innovative technology for the production of X-ray reflecting flats and cells necessary to develop one- or two-dimensional wide-field X-ray optics. The technology is based on double-sided, replicated reflecting foils produced by electroforming and CF/composite technologies.
