This article covers preliminary testing results of an optical module which is based on a modified Kirkpatrick-Baez optics. This X-ray optics, consisting of four sub-modules, was assembled in Prague and tested at the PANTER test facility of MPE afterward. The sub-modules use different reflective coatings, in part developed by our research group, on complementary flat mirrors, which approximate the shape of a Kirkpatrick-Baez optical design. In this contribution we summarise the design of the optical modules, the details of applied coating layers, and the X-ray characterisation results at the PANTER test facility KW - Kirkpatrick-Baez optics KW - X-ray telescopes KW - Reflective coatings KW - Röntgenoptik KW - Spiegelteleskop Y1 - 2022 UR - https://www.epj-conferences.org/articles/epjconf/abs/2022/10/epjconf_eosam2022_03021/epjconf_eosam2022_03021.html U6 - https://doi.org/10.1051/epjconf/202226603021 VL - 266 (2022) SP - 1 EP - 2 ER -
