We present optic designs based on biomimetic, namely technical applications of
animal eyes principles (here: Lobster Eyes) for the special application of wide
field X-ray imaging. Thereby we show and discuss some experimental results
and correlate them with simulations. Preliminary results of an ongoing study on
other strange animal mirror eyes with potential scientific and technical
applications are also discussed. Some of them are based on the principle of
multilayer multi-mirror active optics arrangements. The Lobster Eye X-ray optics
needs special reflective coatings for a better performance, which are currently
developed within the Bavarian-Czech cooperation project JEUMICO.
