Abstracts

EN

The experimental application of a novel technique utilizing a high resolution 2D pixel detector (PILATUS) in scanning transmission X-ray microscopy is presented. Measurements were performed at beamline P11 at the PETRA III synchrotron light source. Results are compared to the approach based on a segmented-type detector. A full simulation of the experimental line has been implemented in C++ programming language. Concepts of ptychography and its application in X-ray microscopy are also briefly discussed.
