From: Web Images From: Web Images Can we develop x-ray microscope with atomic resolution? It does not work with conventional approach due to the lack of atomic resolution X-ray

Can coherent x-ray diffraction imaging be the way to go? What is Coherence?

Coherence is an ideal property of waves that enables stationary interference

This electron density is peaking at the regular positions of

the unit cell due to the function ρ∞(r) and has an overall shape of the sample s(r). Most importantly, it contains the position of the atoms in the unit cell due to the reconstruction of the electron

density function of a unit cell ρuc(r). This means the following: If the continuous intensity distribution around several Bragg peaks will be measured simultaneously and phase retrieval methods will be applied to get the phase, then, in principle, the electron density with atomic resolution will be obtained.
