Abstract

Due to a fusion of ideas from several disciplines, it is now often possible to numerically retrieve the apparently lost phases from a recording of the intensity diffracted from an unknown object. This opens the possibility to develop forms of microscopy based on illumination by coherent beams produced either by a field emission gun in an electron microscope or by an undulator on an electron storage ring. Both of these approaches have now been demonstrated and a community is growing up to exploit these evolving techniques. In this paper we discuss the historical developments which have made this possible and describe the progress so far and some of the future prospects.
