We report on a ground X-ray calibration of two X-ray telescope prototypes at the PANTER X-ray Test Facility, operated by the Max-Planck-Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, in Neuried, Germany. The X-ray telescope prototypes were developed by the Institute of Precision Optical Engineering (IPOE) of Tongji University, in a conical Wolter-I configuration, using thermal glass slumping technology. Prototype #1 with three layers and Prototype #2 with 21 layers were tested to assess the prototypes' on-axis imaging performance. The measurement of Prototype #1 indicates a Half Power Diameter (HPD) of 82'' at 1.49 keV. As for Prototype #2, we performed more comprehensive measurements of on-axis angular resolution and effective area at several energies ranging from 0.5–10 keV. The HPD and effective area are 111'' and 39 cm2 at 1.49 keV, respectively, at which energy the on-axis performance of the prototypes is our greatest concern.
