Abstract
A simple theory and experimental results are presented which describe the efficient transport of soft x radiation through hollow glass tubing by means of multiple grazing-incidence internal reflection. It is shown that a large number of such tubes can be used to remotely image weak plasma sources of soft x radiation. The efficiency of transport through bent tubes and the use of light pipes as low-pass filters for x radiation are discussed.Keywords
