Abstract

Ptychographic coherent X-ray diffractive imaging (PCDI) has been combined with nano-focus X-ray diffraction to study the structure and density distribution of unstained and unsliced bacterial cells, using a hard X-ray beam of 6.2keV photon energy, focused to about 90nm by a Fresnel zone plate lens. While PCDI provides images of the bacteria with quantitative contrast in real space with a resolution well below the beam size at the sample, spatially resolved small angle X-ray scattering using the same Fresnel zone plate (cellular nano-diffraction) provides structural information at highest resolution in reciprocal space up to 2nm⁻¹. We show how the real and reciprocal space approach can be used synergistically on the same sample and with the same setup. In addition, we present 3D hard X-ray imaging of unstained bacterial cells by a combination of ptychography and tomography.

Fig. 1

Schematic of the experimental setup used for X-ray cellular nano-diffraction and PCDI accentuating the important parameters: 1. gap of the source slit S0, which controls the flux and coherence properties of the beam, 2. the distance Z₀ between the zone plate optics (FZP) and the sample, which defines the size of the beam at the cellular specimen, and 3. the detector distance Z₁₂ with respect to the sample, which determines sampling of the recorded diffraction pattern and attainable diffraction angle. For different choices of these three parameters the biological specimen can then be translated in the XY – directions and additionally be rotated with respect to ϕ. In detail, the beamline setup consists of the X-ray undulator (period 19mm) source (S), horizontal and vertical slits (S1–S4), Si(111) monochromator (LN₂-cooled), fast shutter (FS), filter (Fi), central stop (CS), order sorting aperture (OSA) and focus (F) with bacterial specimen. Flight tube and beamstops are not shown.

(a) Phase from ‘ePIE’ reconstruction of the tantalum test structure. Scan points are indicated as magenta points. A fit of the error function to one of the edges of the line scans yields a line-spread function with FWHM-values of 16nm in the vertical direction and 17nm in the horizontal direction. The inner part of (a) is shown in (c). (b) Complex representation of reconstructed probe at the plane of the sample (top) and horizontal and vertical line scans through the centre of the back-propagated probe (bottom) (cf. Media 1). The white dashed lines highlight the position of the different focal positions. (d) (top) Gaussian fits (solid red lines) to the peaks of the line scans of the probe intensity are depicted below together with the data from the line scans (black dots). We obtain FWHM-values of 87nm in the vertical direction, and 93nm in the horizontal direction. (d) A typical diffraction pattern of the PCDI dataset (log-scale) is shown in the lower part.

The PRTFs of the ptychographic reconstruction of the resolution test chart and of a single projection of cells (Fig. 4(b)) are depicted in (a), green curve and blue curve respectively. In addition, the PRTF of the test sample according to an average over a single scan point is shown as red curve (cf. Eq. (2)). The high frequency ranges of the azimuthally averaged power spectral densities (PSD) of the reconstructed phase distributions are displayed in (b). Real space half-periods of 50nm, 25nm and 15nm are indicated as dashed, solid and dashed-dotted black lines, respectively. Legend of (b) is legend in (a).

A magenta label in the tomogram (front-view) depicts voxel-regions which have been used to estimate the mass density ρ_c in the high-density regions of the bacterial specimen (red).

Fig. 5

Sample region A - coherent setting: differential phase contrast (a), (c) and darkfield (b), (d) of cells are shown for the mesh scans A₁ (top) and A₂ (bottom) - (cf. Table 2). The colorbar in (c) denotes the movement of the first moment whereas in (d) the grey scale denotes the ratio of scattered to unscattered photons, n_s and n₀ respectively. The intensity of the beam from the ptychographic reconstruction of the Siemens star (cf. Fig. 2) after back propagation of 1mm into its focus is visualized on top of the darkfield (d). Note, that the propagation of 1mm corresponds to the lateral displacement of the sample between the two different measurements (±100μm due to an uncertainty of the position on the sample holder with respect to the curvature of the polyimide foil). The centre of the reconstructed beam is chosen to be at the cell-position of A₄ (cf. Fig. 6). Sample region B - incoherent setting: a section of the scan B₁ is shown as darkfield (f) and differential phase contrast (e). The position of the cell diffraction of B₃ is indicated on top of the incoherent darkfield as red circle (f). Sample region B - coherent setting: darkfield (h) and phase contrast (g) of a corresponding coherent mesh scan B₂ are shown. Numerical simulations C: synthetic cell sample (top) and calculated differential phase contrast images (below) according to Eq. (1) using the back propagated probe (cf. Fig. 2) at different positions on the optical axis. The distance of propagation is displayed and the corresponding intensity of the probe is visualised as an overlay using the same colorbar as in (d).

Fig. 6

Sample region A - coherent setting: (top) Diffraction data of A₂ and A₃ (cf. Table 2). The sets of diffraction patterns were segmented into areas with Σ₁ and without cell signal Σ₂ using the differential phase contrast image of A₂ (see inset). The difference between the two classes of diffraction sets averaged according to their set size is depicted next to the legend in the top right corner for A₂. Diffraction signals were obtained by azimuthally averaging each diffraction pattern of a scan and thereafter averaging according to their segmentation. The segmented diffraction curves of A₂ are shown and the difference signals are presented for both scans in combination with their power-law fits. Exponents of ν = −3.2 and ν = −3.7 were obtained for A₂ and A₃, respectively. (Bottom) presents the results of A₄ (cf. Fig. 5(d)). The diffraction signals obtained after azimuthally averaging are shown in the graph. The difference between the diffraction data of the cell material and of the sample holder is depicted in the lower left corner. A slightly modified power-law yields an exponent of ν = −3.6. In both graphs the points q = q_† ≡ (c/a)^1/ν are marked.

(a) Intensity of a model-probe exhibiting a dumbbell-shape. The calculated knife-edge scan along the horizontal direction is shown in (b). The white, dashed line in (a) indicates the region of highest focusing which is shown in (c) (solid, black line). The resulting Gaussian shape as estimated from the knife-edge scan is depicted as solid, red curve. (d) shows the intensity of the reconstructed probe at Δz = −0.686mm behind the plane of the sample. A white, dashed line indicates the part which has been used for estimating the beam width. The corresponding result of the calculated knife-edge scan is shown in (e). The FWHM values from calculated knife-edge scans are shown as function of distance to the sample plane in (f). The red and the blue curve denote horizontal and vertical beam-width, respectively. In addition, ϒ(Δz) is shown as solid, black curve which has been scaled arbitrarily for reasons of visualisation.
