TL;DR: The MIXS-C is a collimated instrument which will achieve global coverage at a similar spatial resolution to that achieved (in the northern hemisphere only) by MESSENGER, and MIXs-T is the first ever X-ray telescope to be sent to another planet and will, during periods of high solar activity (or intense precipitation of charged particles), reveal the Xray flux from Mercury at better than 10 km resolution as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the locations of the majority of X-ray fluorescence events are ordered in two clear latitudinal bands on the dawn side of the planet centred at ~50°N and ~20°S.
