Description

Custom code for X-ray ptycho tomo 3D reconstruction volumetric data analysis and Optical modelling. The package contains Jupyter Notebooks (IPython) for estimating nano-scale densities of sub-structures of butterfly-wing scales and for thin-film interference modelling to fit experimental reflectance spectrum data. Please read the method section of the manuscript for a more detailed description of the computational scheme. The readme file contains descriptions to install and execute the package.
