Abstract: The spatial resolution of KBA X-ray microscope is studied with ray-tracing simulation and experimental test. In the experiment, the imaging object is Au grid, backlit by X-rays produced by the 9th laser interaction with Cu target on Shenguang Ⅱ laser facility. The spatial resolution of KBA X-ray microscope is found to be asymmetric about the center of its field of view. Moreover, the experimental data show that, the variation of resolution in the reducing direction of grazing incidence angle is smaller than that in the increasing direction, and the resolution asymmetry is about 30% relative to the field center.
