An x-ray multilayer mirror microscope was designed constructed, and implemented to record images at a wavelength of 33.8 {Angstrom} of laser-irradiated targets. The morphology of the 33.8 {Angstrom} emission from a variety of targets was studied at the Livermore Nova laser 2-beam facility. Imaged were radiatively heated, low-density plastic and silica foams targets, x-ray laser targets, and gas-filled hohlraums. The absolute x-ray flux was determined. A two-mirror microscope and a CCD x-ray detector have been designed and constructed that will provided images with improved spatial resolution and dynamic range. The two-mirror microscope is designed to fit SIM4 on the Livermore 10-beam target chamber or any other comparably sized instrument module
