1. Wave optics of x-rays
Topics covered: solution of the Helmholtz-equation, Fresnel-Kirchhoff integral, modeling of x-ray sample interaction, contrast formation, coherence, longitudinal and lateral coherence.

2. Far-field diffraction and phase retrieval
Topics covered: the phase problem, iterative reconstruction techniques, ambiguities in the reconstruction, 2D- and 3D-imaging, examples from literature

3. Holographic and Ptychographic Imaging techniques
Topics covered: x-ray holography, ptychography, diffraction imaging with curved wave front, examples from literature
