Abstract

General aspects related to lensless imaging of magnetic materials using X-rays are discussed. For holographic and iterative approaches, the requirements regarding coherence and oversampling are compared. The polarization dependence in resonant magnetic scattering is discussed with respect to the possibility of interference in holograms and speckle patterns.
