TL;DR: A method to retrieve and correct position errors during the image reconstruction iterations and improve both the quality of the retrieved object image and the position accuracy requirement while acquiring the diffraction patterns is proposed.
Abstract: Accurate knowledge of translation positions is essential in ptychography to achieve a good image quality and the diffraction limited resolution. We propose a method to retrieve and correct position errors during the image reconstruction iterations. Sub-pixel position accuracy after refinement is shown to be achievable within several tens of iterations. Simulation and experimental results for both optical and X-ray wavelengths are given. The method improves both the quality of the retrieved object image and relaxes the position accuracy requirement while acquiring the diffraction patterns.

TL;DR: The beamline design, its optical components and the endstation are presented, two recently developed phase contrast techniques are illustrated and an overview of recent research topics which make intense use of SRXTM are given.
Abstract: Synchrotron-based X-ray Tomographic Microscopy (SRXTM) is nowadays a powerful technique for non-destructive,
high-resolution investigations of a broad kind of materials. High-brilliance and high-coherence third generation
synchrotron radiation facilities allow micrometer and sub-micrometer, quantitative, three-dimensional
imaging within very short time and extend the traditional absorption imaging technique to edge-enhanced
and phase-sensitive measurements. At the Swiss Light Source TOMCAT, a new beamline for TOmographic Microscopy and Coherent rAdiology experimenTs, has been recently built and started regular user operation in
June 2006. The new beamline get photons from a 2.9 T superbend with a critical energy of 11.1 keV. This makes
energies above 20 keV easily accessible. To guarantee the best beam quality (stability and homogeneity), the
number of optical elements has been kept to a minimum. A Double Crystal Multilayer Monochromator (DCMM)
covers an energy range between 8 and 45 keV with a bandwidth of a few percent down to 10-4. The beamline
can also be operated in white-beam mode, providing the ideal conditions for real-time coherent radiology. This
article presents the beamline design, its optical components and the endstation. It further illustrates two recently
developed phase contrast techniques and finally gives an overview of recent research topics which make intense
use of SRXTM.

TL;DR: By replacing the N-terminal portion of Ang1 with the short coiled-coil domain of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), this variant is a soluble, stable, and potent Ang1 variant, COMP-Ang1, which is more potent than native Ang1 in phosphorylating the tyrosine kinase with Ig and epidermal growth factor homology domain 2 (Tie2) receptor and Akt in primary cultured endothelial cells.
Abstract: Angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) has potential therapeutic applications in inducing angiogenesis, enhancing endothelial cell survival, and preventing vascular leakage. However, production of Ang1 is hindered by aggregation and insolubility resulting from disulfide-linked higher-order structures. Here, by replacing the N-terminal portion of Ang1 with the short coiled-coil domain of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), we have generated a soluble, stable, and potent Ang1 variant, COMP-Ang1. This variant is more potent than native Ang1 in phosphorylating the tyrosine kinase with Ig and epidermal growth factor homology domain 2 (Tie2) receptor and Akt in primary cultured endothelial cells, enhancing angiogenesis in vitro and increasing adult angiogenesis in vivo. Thus, COMP-Ang1 is an effective alternative to native Ang1 for therapeutic angiogenesis in vivo.

TL;DR: A laser writing system for the fabrication of continuous-relief micro-optical elements in photoresist is described in this article, which enables a wide range of planar micro-Optical elements to be fabricated and replicated into polymer film using Ni shims electroformed from the photo-resist originals.
Abstract: A laser writing system for the fabrication of continuous-relief micro-optical elements in photoresist is described. The technology enables a wide range of planar micro-optical elements to be fabricated and replicated into polymer film using Ni shims electroformed from the photo-resist originals. The advantages and limitations of laser writing technology for micro-optics fabrication are discussed. Examples of fabricated micro-optical elements include Fresnel microlenses and microlens arrays, kinoforms, and other continuous-relief phase elements.
