Abstract
X-ray ptychography has become a standard technique for imaging materials at <10 nanometer spatial resolution. Recent developments have shown its potential in obtaining quantitative images of the 2D/3D structure of large objects at millimeter and centimeter-scale, which requires not only new instrumentation and experiment design, but high-throughput workflow for data processing. At Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source, we imaged an integrated chip with over 600 × 600 µm^2 field of view at sub-20 nm spatial resolution and achieved 3000 Hz data acquisition rate with advanced motion control. Here, we discuss challenges in achieving large-area reconstruction and explore strategies for streamlining data processing. We demonstrate a novel data acquisition scheme that combines the merits of both step scan and (continuous) fly scan. Inaccurate scan position and large beam variation also degrade image quality and need to be corrected during reconstruction.
