In coherent diffraction imaging (CDI) experiments, the intensity of the scattered wave impinging on an object is measured on an array of detectors. This signal can be interpreted as the square of the modulus of the Fourier transform of the…

Ptychography is a robust lensless form of microscopy routinely used for applications spanning life and physical sciences. The most common ptychography setup consists in using a detector to record diffraction patterns in the far-field. A…

Coherent X-ray diffraction imaging (CXDI) experiments are intrinsically limited by shot noise, a lack of prior knowledge about the sample's support, and missing measurements due to the experimental geometry. We propose a flexible, iterative…
