Figure 5
Reconstructed ptychographic images of the phantom cell of Fig. 3 obtained at photon fluences nph from 0.8 to 7855.8 photons pixel−1. The images in successive columns are from a simulated dataset with no encoding (left), and then with loss encoding schemes (a), (b), and (c) in the subsequent columns. These images were obtained using a least-squares cost function, rather than a Poisson noise cost function, which leads to a smoothed appearance at low fluences (Du et al., 2020). Use of the lossy encoding scheme (a) has almost no effect on reconstructed image quality, while the increasing degree of loss provided in schemes (b) and especially (c) lead to lower quality reconstructed images at very low fluence. |
