CAMERA Hosts Ptycho Developers Workshop

The 2019 Ptycho Developers Workshop held at Berkeley Lab June 3-5 attracted 60 participants from five continents. Ptychography is an x-ray technique that resolves features at one billionth of a meter. It has "grown in the last years into a diverse landscape of methods to address ever more complex systems," said Stefano Marchesini, a staff scientist in CAMERA and chair of the workshop. This was one of a series of CAMERA workshops that bring together broad communities of algorithm developers, software engineers, and beamline scientists to advance imaging.
