✦ Synopsis

Due to the broad wings of the point spread function of the Wolter telescopes used in the Skylab mission for taking X-ray pictures of the solar corona, the images are blurred around bright emission regions. As a result, the maps of temperature and emission measure are distorted. A procedure for the iterative deconvolution of X-ray pictures is given and applied to the images taken by the AS & E Inc. and the Aerospace Corporation instruments.
