X-ray ptychographic microscopy combines the advantages of raster scanning X-ray
microscopy with the more recently developed techniques of coherent diffraction imaging. It is …

Ptychography is a form of phase imaging that uses iterative algorithms to reconstruct an
image of a specimen from a series of diffraction patterns. It is swiftly developing into a …

Active research is ongoing that investigates the properties of matter under extreme pressure.
Such condensed matter is found inside planets at millions of atmospheres and thousands of …

The PETRA IV project aims at upgrading the present synchrotron radiation source PETRA III
at DESY into an ultralow-emittance source. Being diffraction limited up to X-rays of about 10 …

In the last two decades, after the first light from the new Free Electron Lasers, either in the
UV (FLASH [1] and FERMI@ Elettra [2]) or X-ray (LCLS [3] and SACLA [4]), more and more …

Multilayer Laue lenses are volume diffraction elements for the efficient focusing of X-rays.
With a new manufacturing technique that we introduced, it is possible to fabricate lenses of …

Diffractive and refractive optical elements have become an integral part of most high-
resolution X-ray microscopes. However, they suffer from inherent chromatic aberration. This …

In recent years synchrotron x-ray microprobes and nanoprobes have emerged as key
characterization tools with a remarkable impact for different scientific fields including solid …

Ptychography is a computational imaging technique. A detector records an extensive data
set consisting of many inference patterns obtained as an object is displaced to various …

Extreme ultraviolet microscopy and wavefront sensing are key elements for next-generation
ultrafast applications, such as chemically-resolved imaging, focal spot diagnostics in pump …
