14. The 3D imaging experiment that Robinson and collaborators have recently demonstrated does not require reciprocal-space interpolation [M.A. Pfeifer, G.J. Williams, I.A. Vartanyants, R. Harder, and I.K. Robinson, Nature (London) NATUAS 0028-0836 442, 63 (2006)] as it provides quantitative 3D mapping of lattice strain instead of 3D electron density. 10.1038/nature04867
15. Conventional tomography reconstructs a 3D object from a set of equally angled projections. Since the set of projections are in polar coordinates and the object in Cartesian coordinates, interpolation has to be used in the reconstruction process, which introduces artifacts in the reconstructed 3D object, especially when there are a limited number of projections. Equally sloped tomography has recently been developed to reduce the reconstruction artifacts. Unlike conventional tomography, the new approach makes use of a set of equally sloped projections. Since the projections are equally sloped instead of equally angled, it is called pseudopolar instead of polar coordinates. By applying the Fourier transform to each projection, a set of Fourier slices in pseudopolar coordinates are calculated. To reconstruct a 3D image from the Fourier slices, the pseudopolar fast Fourier transform is used to iterate back and forth between real (Cartesian coordinates) and reciprocal space (pseudopolar coordinates), where the pseudopolar fast Fourier transform is a new variation of the fast Fourier transform [A. Averbuch, R.R. Coifman, D.L. Donoho, M. Elad, and M. Israeli, Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. ACOHE9 1063-5203 21, 145 (2006)]. In real space, the electron density outside the sample boundary is slowly pushed close to zero. In reciprocal space, the known Fourier slices (i.e., both amplitude and phases) remain unchanged and the missing slices are kept floating in each iteration. The reconstruction process is very consistent, and usually after about a hundred iterations, a 3D object can be obtained. The details on equally sloped tomography can be found elsewhere. 10.1016/j.acha.2005.11.003
