A concept of stigmatic spectroscopic instruments for the range λ ~30-300 Å is presented, A parallel beam is dispersed by means of a plane diffraction grating at grazing incidence, whereas focusing of the XUV radiation is performed by a concave multilayer mirror at normal incidence. A spectroheliograph of the new type may have dispersion an order of magnitude higher than traditional Wadsworth-type instruments. The theoretical resolving power of a spectrograph of the new type is limited by apertures of the multilayer mirrors or by the total number of grooves of the grating and many reach (λ/δλ)theor ~ mN ~ 3.105 using presently available optical elements.
