We demonstrated that the combination of a hyperbolic convex and elliptical concave mirrors works as a compact reflective X-ray imaging system with a short optical focal length and large magnification factor. We performed an experiment to form a one-dimensional demagnified image with a demagnification factor of 321 within an approximately 2-m-long optical setup at an X-ray energy of 10 keV. The results showed that this imaging optics system is capable of providing a resolution of ~40 nm. From wavefront analysis, it was confirmed that the optics possessed a wide field-of-view with a significant reduction of comatic aberration.
