Coherent X-ray Diffraction Workshop, BNL, May Outline of Talk What can we aim for in 2013? Introduction to CDI – brief Fresnel CDI (FCDI) –Quantitative phase measurement –Application to malaria-infected red blood cell Keyhole FCDI – imaging extended objects –Application to technology problem –Early 3D results Conclusions

Coherent X-ray Diffraction Workshop, BNL, May Approaches to Coherent Imaging Holography –Recent work at BESSY –Limited path to high resolution Phase-contrast –Very extensively used –Low resolution Ptychography –SLS – Oliver Bunk –Extended objects, high resolution? CDI –Plane wave incident Isolated objects –Curved incident wave To Image extended objects in three-dimensions with 5nm resolution

Coherent X-ray Diffraction Workshop, BNL, May Coherent imaging methods are being developed. z Coherent Field Impose Measure Intensity, Keep Phase Impose “support” Guess Phase

Coherent X-ray Diffraction Workshop, BNL, May Quantitative Phase Measurement Average AFM height and reconstructed thickness for the four areas indicated in Fig 2(c). RegionAFM (nm)FCDI (nm) 1370 ± 8*360 ± ± 7377 ± ± ± ± ± 19 *Errors are estimated from the variance in the heights recovered within each region, as this includes intrinsic height variation the errors are therefore conservative. Clark, J.N., et al., Quantitative phase measurement in coherent diffraction imaging. Optics Express, (5) Use prior knowledge of the incident wave to recover the “exit surface wave” leaving the object

Coherent X-ray Diffraction Workshop, BNL, May What do we mean by “support”? Support is interpreted slightly differently here –the structure to be reconstructed is the coherent exit wave, including the illumination, not the scattering object itself.
