Ptychography is an imaging technique based on algorithmic reconstruction of diffraction patterns that improves the spatial resolution of scanning transmission X-ray microscopy. Here, the possibility of ptychography at the carbon K-edge is demonstrated on carbon nanotube bundles, using a defocused beam to reduce radiation damage.
