Crystallography 101. Welcome to BR's Macromolecular Crystallography Website on ruppweb.org. Lectures. The Interactive Structure Factor Tutorial. Welcome to the structure factor tutorial!
The aim of this tutorial is to learn about structure factors, phases, symmetry, and the relationship between the structure factors and the electron density map. The tutorial uses an interactive tool, the `structure factor applet'. 5.069 Crystal Structure Analysis, Spring 2010. Crystallographic Tutorials. (IUCr) International Union of Crystallography.

It is possible to reconstruct an image from the Fourier magnitudes alone if we have a similar image to provide phase information.
For example, suppose we are trying to reconstruct the image of a cat, and have the fourier magnitudes for it. Since for this experiment we only have the magnitudes of the transform it is represented in monochrome, and we cannot reconstruct the image.
