How Does An X-ray Telescope Work?

How does an x-ray telescope work? Everybody knows you can't focus x-rays with lenses. Does an x-ray telescope use mirrors then? I've never heard of x-rays bouncing off mirrors either. How are the x-rays focused in the telescope?

Wow, I’d never heard of one, but Google came up with a site that explains how they work:http://swift.sonoma.edu/about_swift/inst…
Apparently, they do use mirrors.
I love your videos ! Please continue to post them !
Clearly they do the BUTT X-RAY
It sort of depends on the type of injuries you have sustained.
If you have had the chair yanked away from under you when you are sitting down, then many doctors would NOT x-ray your butt.
However, if you have been in a car accident or a motorcycle accident where there have been high speeds and the possibility of serious injury exists, particularly if you have sore hips/pelvis you should score a PELVIC X-RAY which is done with the usual x-ray machine – the same one that takes your chest x-ray and neck x-rays.
Other types of x-rays to look at the area include x-rays of the sacrum or lumbar spine.
Other ways to look at the area without xrays include:
CT scan (cat scan – computed axial tomography)
MRI scan (magnetic resonance imaging)
bone scan (radio-isotope scan)
I am going on a roadtrip to Grand Canyon for Christmas and Id like to borrow or rent a decent quality telescope to enjoy while trailer camping out there in the boonies. I am a physics student with lots of experience in the lab handling lasers, tubes, lenses, some telescope work, so your equipment will be handled extremely well by two of us and nobody else.
I would like this experience to help me decide whether to take the plunge to expense my own rig. I would prefer a Cassagrain style 8″ or such but that is not a requirement. I would also really like a camera attachment so that I can explore compositing images but that is not a requirement.
I will consider any offers I get for this.
I will also accept any offers for equipment if you want to help out a starving UTD student with excellent grades.
We Know the X-rays are not deflected by both Electric and magnetic Feild
From your help itself you are saying that might
So we can say that it could not a deflection of the beam
RT Spending the night in the ER with our crippled singer. Western Union us some paper to pay for x-rays.
What a glorious racket!
at the airport, they let me avoid it. I'd mention it. Let them look through your bags, but I wouldn't test it.

“STS-125 Crew Visits the Stock Exchange NASA astronauts Scott Altman and Mike Massimino of the STS-125 mission visit the New York Stock Exchange to support the release of Hubble 3D, the newest IMAX film, which documents the mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope and features never-before-seen 3D flights through Hubble imagery such as the Orion Nebula. In honor of the occasion, Altman and Massimino ring ‘The Closing Bell’ ending the day’s trading at the Exchange on Thursday, March 18, 2010.”
Sorry to hear you're in so much pain
Have you had x-rays?
Think about it. Because of Terrorists, we're now hyper-sensitive to security from airports to government buildings with x-rays of ourselves.
She should discuss risk factors with her doctor. (See site below.)
Generally the x-ray technician will ask if a patient is pregnant or believes she may be pregnant. Pregnancy tests are not routinely given simply because a woman is of child-bearing age.
