Summary

[edit]
Description The Goddard-provided soft X-ray Wide-Field Imager proposed for a mission called ISS-TAO borrows heavily from nature. The images on the left and center show close-up views of a crustacean’s eyes; the image on the right shows a manmade microchannel plate. Both operate the same way. Both gather light from multiple angles, focusing it into a single image to provide a wide field of view.
