We will present the optics based on biomimetics, namely technical/optical applications of animal (Lobster) Eyes for special optical applications (wide field X ray imaging). We will show and discus some experimental results and will correlate them with simulations, We will also discuss preliminary results on ongoing study on another strange anomal mirror eyes with potential scientific and technical applications, Some of them are based on principes of multilayer, multimirror active optics arrangements. The lobster eye optics need special reflective coatings for better performance, and it is related to Bavarian Czech JEUMICO project.
