AI Thread Summary
Electron Ptychography Imaging is a groundbreaking microscopy technique that eliminates the need for lenses, enabling the creation of ultra-high-resolution images. This method reconstructs images from electron waves scattered by samples, overcoming limitations associated with traditional microscopy, such as blurriness from glass lenses and visible light wavelengths. It has the potential to image live cells without causing damage, opening new avenues in biological research. The technique may also influence the adaptation of electron microscopy methods to x-ray imaging. Overall, Electron Ptychography Imaging represents a significant advancement in imaging technology with diverse applications.

Looking forward to all the applications this will be used in!

A new microscopy method that ditches lenses altogether could create the highest-resolution images ever seen. The system reconstructs an image from the electron waves scattered by a sample, and has no fundamental experimental limits imposed by constraints like blurry glass or wavelengths of visible light. It can even be used to image live cells without harming them.

That's awesome!
 
I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
