Abstract
X-ray diffraction is potentially a strong candidate for biological imaging since it can in principle reconstruct thick samples
at resolutions close to the diffraction) limit of the radiation. Due to the non-crystalline nature of such samples, one seeks
a phasing method other than that of traditional crystallography ; such a method exists in the
use of an iterative algorithm based on oversampling [1]. One of the tasks faced by an iterative method is to know when the
iteration has given a faithful reconstruction. Past algorithms of this type [1,2,3] have employed the basic Fienup iterative
schema [4]. In this paper we report on the use of a newer itérative schema due to Elser [5] ; our computer simulations on
real and complex test objects using Elser's schema show that his reconstruction-error function is a reliable
measurement of the reconstruction. We also report that a magnitude-based histogram constraint can dramaticaly speed up the
convergence of the reconstruction process.
