Ptychographic wavefront characterisation for single-particle imaging at X-ray lasers

Benedikt J. Daurer, Simone Sala, Max F. Hantke +13

A well-characterised wavefront is important for many X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) experiments, especially for single-particle imaging (SPI), where individual bio-molecules rand…
