This article describes the successful design and fabrication of, and metrological results from, an elastically bent parabolic mirror. The mirror is equipped with a bending structure that allows the mirror to be bent meridionally to a parabolic shape. This bent parabolic mirror is the key component of the extremely high‐quality monochromators designed for the SPring‐8 figure‐8 soft X‐ray undulator and the 2.0 GeV high‐brilliance synchrotron radiation source (VSX).
