X-ray imaging in three dimensions is now possible from a set of 2D coherent Bragg diraction patterns. This approach overcomes the necessity of having to rotate the sample for a 3D reconstruction. X-ray imaging is extensively usedin medical and materials science. Traditionally, the depth dimension is...
