X-ray microspectroscopy is a powerful analytical method in geoscientific and environmental
research as it provides a unique combination of nanoscale imaging with high spectroscopic …

X-ray ptychography emerged in the late 2000s as a lensless imaging technique that
combined the advantages of scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) and coherent …

Synchrotron-based scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) efficiently integrates X-
ray microscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) to provide quantitative, chemically …

Spectroptychography is being used to realize a significant improvement in the spatial
resolution of x-ray spectromicroscopy, allowing chemical microanalysis at finer spatial …

The analysis of chemical states and morphology in nanomaterials is central to many areas of
science. We address this need with an ultrahigh-resolution scanning transmission soft x-ray …

The spatial distribution of transition metal valence states is of broad interest in the
microanalysis of geological and environmental samples. An example is rock varnish, a …

Hydrocarbons fuel our current global economy and will likely also do so in the foreseeable
future, until greener fuels partly will replace hydrocarbons. Future production of …

Coherent X-ray and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) beams can visualize and characterize the
structure and functions of material, from tens of microns down to nanometer scales [1, 2] …

X-ray ptychography is one of the coherent x-ray diffractive imaging techniques with the
object of interest scanned in small steps by an overlapping probe. The collected diffraction …

In soft X-ray spectromicroscopy, significant advances were made during last few decades,
