TL;DR: A hard-x-ray telescope is successfully produced for balloon observations by making use of depth-graded multilayers, or so-called supermirrors, with platinum-carbon (Pt/C) layer pairs by taking into account the figure errors of reflectors and their optical alignment in the telescope assembly.
