Lobster eye x ray micro pore optics (MPO) is a novel bionic optical technology with unique microchannel structure. All square microchannels point to the same spherical center position, providing wide field of view and high focusing imaging capabilities. Enhancing performance MPO has been significant challenge. This study introduces what we believe approach using stiffener staggered-square honeycomb structure design enhance properties devices. The test results show that multifiber enhances quality by approximately 20% during melt pressing stage. reduces channel errors nearly 67% in thermal forming coating Consequently, angular resolution significantly enhanced, reducing from 4.25 2.68 arc min. innovative shows promise for enhancing lobster potential applications related field.
