Abstract

In this work, issues in phase retrieval in the coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) technique, from discussion on parameters for setting up a CDI experiment to evaluation of the goodness of the final reconstruction, are discussed. The distribution of objects under study by CDI often cannot be cross-validated by another imaging technique. It is therefore important to make sure that the developed CDI procedure delivers an artifact-free object reconstruction. Critical issues that can lead to artifacts are presented and recipes on how to avoid them are provided.
