Abstract
Phase contrast imaging is advantageous for mitigating radiation damage to samples, such as biological specimens. For imaging at nanometer or atomic resolution, the required flux on samples increases dramatically and can easily exceed the sample damage threshold. Coherent modulation imaging (CMI) can provide quantitative absorption and phase images of samples at diffraction-limited resolution with fast convergence. When used for radiation-sensitive samples, CMI experiments need to be conducted under low illumination flux for high resolution. Here, an algorithmic framework is proposed for CMI involving generalized alternating projection and total variation constraint. A five-to-ten-fold lower photon requirement can be achieved for near-field or far-field experiment dataset. The work would make CMI more applicable to the dynamics study of radiation-sensitive samples.
