X-ray Hologram

Caption: Top: the ALS beamline 9.0.1 experiment used a uniformly redundant array 30 nanometers thick with scattering elements 44 nanometers square (left). At right is the lithograph of Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man. The scale bar is two micrometers long. Bottom: the FLASH experiment used a URA with 162 pinholes, next to a Spiroplasma bacterium. The 150-nanometer diameter pinholes in the URA limited resolution, but computer processing improved image resolution to 75 nanometers. The scale bar is four micrometers long.
