Figure 3
The importance of phases in carrying information. Top, the diffraction pattern, or Fourier transform (FT), of a duck and of a cat. Bottom left, a diffraction pattern derived by combining the amplitudes from the duck diffraction pattern with the phases from the cat diffraction pattern. Bottom right, the image that would give rise to this hybrid diffraction pattern. In the diffraction pattern, different colours show different phases and the brightness of the colour indicates the amplitude. Reproduced courtesy of Kevin Cowtan.
