Parabolic refractive x-ray lenses are novel optical components for the hard x-ray range from about 5 keV to about 120 keV. They are compact, robust, and easy to align and to operate. They can be used like glass lenses are used for visible light, the main difference being that the numerical aperture is much smaller than I (of the order of 10(-4)-10(-3)). They have been developed at Aachen University and are made of beryllium, boron, aluminium and silicon. Their main applications are in micro- and nanofocusing, in imaging by absorption and phase contrast. In combination with tomography they allow for three-dimensional imaging of opaque media with sub-micrometre resolution. Finally, they can be used in speckle spectroscopy by means of coherent x-ray scattering. References to a number of applications are given.
