Capillary optics: features of synchrotron radiation focusing

The review of experimental research on transmission of soft X-ray radiation (approximately 1.5 keV) by capillary structures for synchrotron radiation beam of the S-60 accelerator is presented. The main synchrotron parameters and characteristics of synchrotron radiation beam in addition to a description of the layout, the parameters of the capillary structures studied, the procedure of objects' alignment and radiation detection are given. A brief comparative analysis of experimental and theoretical data is argued. The requirements to the experimental setup and the use of similar structures for synchrotron radiation beams of X-ray range are discussed.
