Ptychography is an area-by-area scanning method that uses constant, coherent illumination to scan a region of a sample in several adjacent and overlapping locations. The dispersed radiation is ...

A "lensless" x-ray microscope that can take pictures of biological samples in their natural environment has been developed in the UK. Physicists used several overlapping diffraction patterns to create ...

XRD works by directing X-rays onto a crystalline material and analyzing the angles and intensities of the diffracted beams. The atomic planes within the crystal act as a three-dimensional grating, ...
