Amplitude and phase reconstruction for Low-Energy Electron Holography of individual proteins

Hannah Julia Ochner

Single-molecule imaging methods are of importance in structural biology, and specifically in the imaging of proteins, since they can elucidate conformational variability and structural changes that might be lost in imaging methods relying on averaging proc ...

Phase Reconstruction of Low-Energy Electron Holograms of Individual Proteins

Klaus Kern, Stephan Rauschenbach, Sven Alexander Szilagyi, Hannah Julia Ochner

Low-energy electron holography (LEEH) is one of the few techniques capable of imaging large and complex three-dimensional molecules, such as proteins, on the single molecule level at subnanometer resolution. During the imaging process, the structural infor ...

Microscopic visualisation of optically transparent samples has been a topic of interest for several decades. Features such as density or chemical composition can influence the optical phase of transmitted light, and phase contrast can reveal these structur ...

Controversy in the description/identification of so-called intermediate phase(s) in PbHfO3, stable in the range similar to 420-480 K, has existed for a few decades. A synchrotron diffraction experiment on a partially detwinned crystal allowed the structure ...

Dual Phase Shifting Holographic Interferometry: An Overview

Pramod Rastogi

Phase measurement has been a topic of increasingly important interest to researchers active in optical metrology to an extent that substantial advances in the area have been reported over the past three decades. However, these developments have been largel ...

We report on a 4-bit digital silicon photonic MEMS phase-shifter with sub-microsecond switching time and low power consumption (< 10 uW). The device consists of 4 digitally switched phase-shifting units, which in total enable phase shift from pi/8 to 15pi/ ...

Phase analysis of amplitude binary mask structures

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Krishnaparvathy Puthankovilakam

Shaping of light behind masks using different techniques is the milestone of the printing industry. The aerial image distribution or the intensity distribution at the printing distances defines the resolution of the structure after printing. Contrast and p ...

Lightfields behind amplitude masks Creating phase discontinuities

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Wilfried Noell, Myun Sik Kim, Krishnaparvathy Puthankovilakam

Shaping of light fields behind amplitude and phase masks the basis the lithographic structure reproduction. The aerial image or better the intensity distribution defines the resolution of the structure to be printed. Contrast is the main parameter and to a ...

Variational Phase Imaging Using the Transport-of-Intensity Equation

Michaël Unser, Daniel Sage, Emrah Bostan, Masih Nilchian, Emmanuel Augustin Julien Froustey

We introduce a variational phase retrieval algorithm for the imaging of transparent objects. Our formalism is based on the transport-of-intensity equation (TIE), which relates the phase of an optical field to the variation of its intensity along the direct ...

Direct access to macroporous chromium nitride and chromium titanium nitride with inverse opal structure

Weitian Zhao

We report a facile synthesis of single-phase, nanocrystalline macroporous chromium nitride and chromium titanium nitride with an inverse opal morphology. The material is characterized using XRD, SEM, HR-TEM/STEM, TGA and XPS. Interconversion of macroporous ...
