Abstract

We demonstrate through experiment an example of "mixed state" reconstruction using x-ray ptychography. We demonstrate successful imaging of a vibrating sample that has dynamics that are of one order magnitude faster than the measurement times. We show how increased vibrational amplitude leads to an increased population of illumination modes, a characteristic of partial coherence. Implications of a vibrating sample are explored, with its possible use in manipulating coherent wave field mode shapes and coherence properties.
