Left: illustration of the configuration of the focusing mirror system, focal detector array, and FoV of LEIA. The mirror assembly is divided into four individual quadrants, each consisting of 3 × 3 MPO plates and associated with one of the four detectors. The overall FoV of the telescope module is 18fdg6 × 18fdg6. Right: a picture of the LEIA instrument undergoing on-ground X-ray calibration at IHEP before being assembled onto the SATech satellite.
