The ground-based testing setup at SPring-8

Caption

X-rays travel along a 900-meter corridor before entering this experimental station, where they reflect off the telescope mirror and are captured by the detector. Vacuum tubes surround the mirror to prevent air from interfering with the X-ray measurements.
