Near, far, wherever you are: simulations on the dose efficiency of holographic and ptychographic coherent imaging

Different studies in X-ray microscopy have arrived at conflicting conclusions about the dose efficiency of near- and far-field imaging approaches. X-ray far-field ptychography is compared with near-field holography and near-field ptychography in computer simulations. All three methods are highly dose efficient, with far-field ptychography offering slightly better low-dose imaging characteristics.
