Recent X-ray observatories like ROSAT, ASCA, RXTE, BeppoSAX and Chandra have achieved important progress in neutron star and pulsar astronomy. The identification of Geminga as a rotation-powered pulsar, the discovery of X-ray emission from millisecond pulsars and the identification of cooling neutron stars are only few of the fascinating results. In the following I will give a brief review on the X-ray emission properties of rotation-powered pulsars and their wind nebulae.
