A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, 10.29026/oea.2024.230034 discusses how the synergy of traditional techniques and deep learning enables single-frame high-precision fringe pattern ...

The idea of wavefront recording and reconstruction, known today as holography, was formulated by Gabor 1. His proof-of-principle experiment was done with the light of a high pressure mercury lamp; it ...

The authors discuss the valuable information that can be obtained from indexing and its applications in routine screening and analysis of solid forms. Crystal-structure determination using X-ray ...

I learned in October 2022’s Breakthrough that the spikes of stars in high-power photos are called diffraction spikes. Why do they appear as two crosses at 45 degrees to each other? The diffraction ...

(Nanowerk News) Turning up the intensity of x-ray beams used to probe the atomic structures of materials can actually reduce the intensity of x-rays scattered from the material, a RIKEN-led team has ...

A He-Ne laser shines on an adjustable single slit to make a diffraction pattern. The slit can be adjusted in two dimensions. Mount the laser and slit on opposite ends of the rail, making sure the ...
