Jan 14, 2021 at 21:03 comment added Ilya Gazman Can you please provide a mathematical formula for a reasonable pixel size compared to the wavelength of light and the lens's aperture diameter?
Jan 11, 2021 at 14:20 comment added Steve Linton I don't know much about X-ray telescopes, but their resoution is probably limited by how accurately the X-rays reflect from the surface of the mirror, or by aligment of the multiple mirrors, rather than by diffraction.
Jan 10, 2021 at 23:59 comment added Peter Erwin If by “effective size” you mean physical size, then for XMM-Newton it’s 40 micrometers.
Jan 10, 2021 at 20:00 comment added Ilya Gazman Can you please tell me what would be the smallest effective size of a pixel in an x-ray telescope, for example, the XMM-Newton?
