Hessian Splines For Scanning Transmission X-Ray Microscopy

Michaël Unser, Thomas Jean Debarre

Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) produces images in which each pixel value is related to the measured attenuation of an X-ray beam. In practice, the location of the illuminated region does not exactly match the desired uniform pixel grid. This ...
