Thibault P Guizar-Sicairos M Menzel A 2014 X-ray ptychography, a scanning coherent diffractive imaging technique, holds promise for imaging with dose-limited resolution and sensitivity. If the foreseen increase of coherent flux by orders of magnitude can be matched by additional technological and analytical advances, ptychography may approach imaging speeds familiar from full-field methods while retaining its inherently quantitative nature and metrological versatility. Beyond promises of high throughput, spectroscopic applications in three dimensions become feasible, as do measurements of sample dynamics through time-resolved imaging or careful characterization of decoherence effects. application/pdf https://sonar.ch/global/documents/212857 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1107/S1600577514015343 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/25177990 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Journal of synchrotron radiation. - 2014 coherent diffraction diffraction-limited synchrotron sources imaging ptychography Coherent imaging at the diffraction limit. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
