We present the design parameters, production process, and in-flight performance of the X-ray telescope (XRT) onboard Suzaku. The imaging capability is significantly improved over the ASCA XRT, which had half-power diameters of ${3\rlap {.}{}^{\mathrm {\prime }}6}$, to ${1\rlap {.}{}^{\mathrm {\prime }}8}$–${2\rlap {.}{}^{\mathrm {\prime }}3}$ for all four XRT-I modules. The optical axes are found ...
