Modern microscopy techniques are developing towards high-resolution imaging, and tremendous progress has been made in past decades; however, the imaging of individual biological macromolecules at atomic resolution using short-wavelength radiation such as electrons or X-rays has not yet been achieved. The construction of free-electron lasers in many countries around the world arises from the desire to develop new imaging techniques by employing coherent radiation to image individual macromolecules. This work deals with coherent imaging and related phase retrieval techniques, with an emphasis on their application in the imaging of individual biological macromolecules.
