Proposed is an imaging type Schwarzschild soft X-ray microscope including a condenser optimized for better imaging properties on the basis of Hopkins's theory. The condenser using grazing incidence reflective optics is found most suitable for a Schwarzschild objective. The modulation transfer function (MTF) for the microscope is calculated and it is shown that the MTF is improved with the light intensity distribution on the condenser pupil.
