Hard X-ray imaging is an excellent tool for this purpose, as it combines high spatial resolution with high penetration depth, allowing for realistic reaction environments. While far-field ptychography is a well-established method at synchrotron radiation sources, its near-field analog has received less attention. In this work we show that near-field multi-slice ptychography is a competitive method for high-resolution in-situ imaging by studying the formation of gold nanocages via galvanic replacement. Our work extends near-field X-ray ptychography to sub-50 nm spatial resolution by using multilayer Laue lenses. These high numerical aperture optics enable to distinguish sample layers that are separated by less than 100 µm by multi-slicing techniques.
