1. A method of manufacturing burr-edged reflecting tile elements for a mosaic X-ray lens configured for forming an X-ray beam; said method comprising steps of:
a. providing a single crystal having first and second faces thereof being parallel therebetween; single crystal having crystallographic planes thereof being parallel to first and second faces of said single crystal; said first face dedicated for reflecting an X-ray beam to be incident thereto;
b. cutting said single crystal by means of a wire electrical discharging machine normally to said main faces;
wherein said step of cutting said single crystal comprises moving a wire within a cut in direction from said second face to said first face; such that burrs configured for reflecting said X-ray beam to be incident thereto are formed on edges of said cut.
