This paper presents the designs and simulations of twin Wolter mirrors for focusing and imaging experiments with soft Xray free electron lasers. Wave-optical simulations at a photon energy of 100 eV indicate that the designed focusing Wolter mirror focuses soft X-ray beams to a 300 nm × 200 nm spot with an acceptable rotational error of 1.7 mrad × 1.4 mrad and that the objective Wolter mirror, which receives the beam that passes through the focusing Wolter mirror and a sample, forms bright-field images with a spatial resolution of 140 nm × 140 nm. The focusing Wolter mirror enables long-term experiments with high stability, and the objective Wolter mirror is applicable to imaging-before-destruction.
