PyNX


Python toolkit for accelerated Nano-structures Crystallography and Coherent X-ray Imaging techniques.
The software included in this package can be used for:
1. the computing of X-ray scattering using graphical processing units
2. X-ray wavefield propagation (from near to far field)
3. simulation and GPU-accelerated analysis of experiments using the ptychography and coherent diffraction imaging techniques
