Ptychographic X-ray computed tomography is a quantitative three-dimensional imaging technique offered to users of multiple synchrotron radiation sources. Its dependence on the coherent fraction of the available X-ray beam makes it perfectly suited to diffraction-limited storage rings. Although MAX IV is the first, and so far only, operating fourth-generation synchrotron light source, none of its experimental stations is currently set up to offer this technique to its users. The first ptychographic X-ray computed tomography experiment has therefore been performed on the NanoMAX beamline. From the results, information was gained about the current limitations of the experimental setup and where attention should be focused for improvement. The extracted parameters in terms of scanning speed, size of the imaged volume and achieved resolutions should provide a baseline for future users designing nano-tomography experiments on the NanoMAX beamline.

Article Synopsis
- Ptychography is now widely used in microscopy for greater imaging precision but is limited by the coherence of the light sources used.
- A new universal reconstruction algorithm has been developed that works effectively even with low coherence, improving image quality without needing prior source information.
- This algorithm enhances existing ptychographic systems, leading to faster and more stable reconstructions, especially beneficial for imaging weakly scattering samples.

Article Synopsis
- Ptychography is a computational imaging technique that provides detailed microscopic images, relying on phase-retrieval algorithms for quality results.
- Recent advancements have integrated deep neural networks (DNN) into phase retrieval processes to enhance imaging quality, although challenges arise from these methods being sensitive to experimental changes and the need for extensive image datasets for training.
- A novel approach combines DNN and model-based algorithms, using a DNN denoiser with synthetic training data, which allows for improved image reconstruction with fewer iterations and greater adaptability to varying conditions, as validated by experimental results.
