The impact of thin boron carbide (B4C) layers on the internal structure and reflection coefficients of Cr/Ti multilayer mirrors at a wavelength of 2.74 nm Cr/Ti at normal incidence angles was studied. The mirrors had 400 periods of about 1.4 nm. The usage of interlayers made it possible to increase the reflection coefficients from 5% to 11% as a result of reduction the materials mixing at the interfaces. A significant part of the article is devoted to the issue of precision reflectometry using the laboratory reflectometer in the "water window" spectral range. Keywords: X-ray, multilayer mirrors, reflectometry, soft X-ray range, "water window", interlayers, X-ray tube, diffraction grating, ion source.
