This article discusses the physical and mathematical background of phase contrast imaging with in-line electron holography from a physics rather than a microscopy perspective and showcases the strength of non-iterative and iterative approaches by application to magnetism research. A comprehensive derivation of magnetic and electric phase shift due to electromagnetic interaction with matter and electron wave propagation is presented as the foundation for phase retrieval algorithms based on the transport-of-intensity equation and Gerchberg–Saxton—an iterative exit wave reconstruction algorithm. The strength and potential of both algorithms are highlighted by experimental and numerical quantitative comparison using non-collinear spin textures. Although the focus of this work is on magnetism research, the indifference of the exit wave reconstruction to the origin of the phase shift ensures applicability to study spatial variations in both electric and spin distributions in quantum, energy, and magnetic materials.
