With the availability of high brightness soft and hard x-ray sources, a new suite of applications of synchrotron radiation based on transverse coherence has emerged. Our own interest has been to combine the benefits of full transverse coherence with the well-established charge and magnetic contrast available near x-ray absorption edges, particularly in the soft x-ray regime, to probe complex magnetic materials and structures. Scattering a coherent beam off material inhomogeneities produces a speckle/diffraction pattern of the specific illuminated region.
