The XRI is an X-Ray interferometer under development, capable of detecting angular differences as small as 1 millionth of a arcsecond.
This technology is based on the Silicon Pore Optics and is created in cooperation with the Leicester university as an additional configuration for (space based) X-ray telescopes.
Applications
- Distinction of two close celestial X-Ray sources
- Exact localization of X-ray sources from a large distance
