A new X-ray imaging technique that uses sandpaper to generate “speckle” patterns makes it possible to characterize strongly curved X-ray mirrors in two dimensions with nanoscale precision. The new technique could find use in super-precision metrology while also aiding the development of next-generation X-ray mirrors for upgraded synchrotrons.
