Abstract: | X-ray phase-retrieval algorithms are widely exploited in contemporary hard x-ray diffraction techniques to image at the nanoscale, less than 10-20 nm. Often reconstruction of the sample shape (image) suffices for the purpose of experiment. Identification of specimen composition requires a quantitative profiling of the complex refractive index. This Letter shows that, although such quantitative analysis is possible in many cases, there is a lower limit to variations in optical density, which can be quantitatively reconstructed using the common phase-retrieval methods. |
