We present a novel combination of two coherent imaging methods, namely holography [1,2] and ptychography [3,4] for imaging nanoscale objects using soft X-rays. Ptychography as a scanning imaging method relies on the exact knowledge (or post-experimental retrieval) of the position of the X-ray illumination on the sample during scanning. Our method combination allows to directly encode the scan positions in the diffraction pattern without the need of accurate position encoders. We demonstrate that holographically encoded positions significantly reduce the experimental and numerical requirements. Our ptychographic reconstructions cover a large field of view with diffraction-limited resolution and high sensitivity in the reconstructed phase shift and absorption of the objects.
