Description

Incoherent Diffraction Imaging (IDI) with hard X-rays is a promising improvement in lensless imaging tech- niques, taking advantage of the partial coherence of scattered light to obtain structural insights at the nanoscale. Building on the foundations of Coherent Diffraction Imaging (CDI), IDI uses second-order intensity correlations to reconstruct high-resolution images while overcoming the obstacles posed by coherence limitations. This project focuses on creating an experimental campaign to test IDI with a synchrotron source at SOLEIL’s Nanoscopium beamline. This study aims to improve imaging with partially incoherent X-rays by combining numerical simulations and an innovative experimental setup that includes a rotating diffuser and a resolution target. The research results show potential for more accessible, high-resolution imaging techniques for nanostructures, widening applications in material sciences, medicine and biology.
