Abstract: In the paper an analysis of X-ray passage through a single monocapillary under the regime of an one reflection ispresented. It is shown that a ray approximation does not explain the results obtained experimentally. A qualitative estimation of the phenomenon observed and computer simulation by a wave theory are given.Keywords:X-ray, monocapillary, ray optics, wave optics, capillary optics 1. INTRODUCTION A possibility of X-rays control by the multiple total external reflection into hollow tubes is well-known, however,to use the systems of capillaries packed in a definite order for collecting, controlling and forming X-ray beams wassuggested comparatively recently (a detail analysis was presented in the paper [1]). The recent research results on transmission of X-ray radiation through capillary systems showed that passedradiation distribution behind these systems may present a complex character[2]. Under the specific ratio betweenbeam and system parameters the wave properties may be observed.Studying an X-ray transmission through single monocapillaries discovered that in this case the effects, whichare unusual by the ray optics, are observed[3,4]. In the work presented a theoretical analysis on process of X-ray
