Coherent diffraction microscopy at SPring-8: instrumentation, data acquisition and data analysis

Cryogenic coherent X-ray diffraction imaging of biological samples at SACLA: a correlative approach with cryo-electron and light microscopy.

Coherent X-ray diffraction imaging at cryogenic temperature (cryo-CXDI) allows the analysis of internal structures of unstained, non-crystalline, whole biological samples in micrometre to sub-micrometre dimensions. Targets include cells and cell organelles. This approach involves preparing frozen-hydrated samples under controlled humidity, transferring the samples to a cryo-stage inside a vacuu...

Data processing software suite SITENNO for coherent X-ray diffraction imaging using the X-ray free-electron laser SACLA

Coherent X-ray diffraction imaging is a promising technique for visualizing the structures of non-crystalline particles with dimensions of micrometers to sub-micrometers. Recently, X-ray free-electron laser sources have enabled efficient experiments in the `diffraction before destruction' scheme. Diffraction experiments have been conducted at SPring-8 Angstrom Compact free-electron LAser (SACLA...

Coherent microscopy at resolution beyond diffraction limit using post-experimental data extrapolation

Soft x-ray microscopy with coherent x rays (invited)

The Soft X-ray Undulator beamline at the NSLS supports a soft x-ray imaging program including scanning transmission microscopy, scanning photoemission microscopy, Gabor and Fourier transform holography, and large angle diffraction. Zone plates from an LBL Center for X-ray Optics/IBM collaboration are used as optical elements. The current instrumentation of the beamline and the experimental stat...

Automated Data Acquisition and Indexing of Electron Channeling Patterns us- ing the Dictionary Approach

Defect analysis using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), commonly known as Electron Channeling Contrast Imaging (ECCI), has received much attention in the recent past. Traditional defect analysis has for decades relied on Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) modalities, such as the bright field-dark field and weak beam imaging, and Scanning Transmission Electron Microcopy (STEM) diffractio...
