Motivations behind Ptychography:

•​ Scanning lensless XUV imaging
• 30 nm (40 eV) imaging of biological samples demonstrated at Artemis and Southampton
• 13 nm (95 eV) imaging with 75 W Yb-based systems demonstrated
• Water window ptychography grant just funded
• £4M EPSRC grant to Soton
• To be based in RCaH
• Extensive use of ptychography on campus: Diamond, RFI, eBIC/ePSIC​

XUV ptychography at 30 nm and 13 nm, in reflection as well as transmission, using 1030 nm drive​

7 nm flux tests with post-compressed 1700 nm OPA​

   •    Straightforward set-up enables variety of ptychography modes

   •    Beamline components already in place

Work with Southampton, Diamond, RFI on compatibility of acquisition and data analysis packages​

Continue to work with CLF's Octopus on correlative imaging with optical techniques​
