From the IR to the x-ray wavelength range, astronomical optics use light-controlling components for imaging celestial objects, such as using a telescope. They combine precisely machined lenses and mirrors to reduce image distortion and sensors to detect low levels of light. Optics undergo interferometric, topographical, and fringe analysis tests.
