Reconstruction of Objects from Their Averaged Finite Crystal Diffraction Intensity

We outline an image reconstruction algorithm that is capable of reconstructing an object from the averaged Fourier intensity of finite crystals of that object with arbitrary lattice occupancies. The algorithm is tested via simulations where the 3-dimensional electron density of a protein molecule is successfully reconstructed from such intensity measurements.
