A new technique for high fidelity three-dimensional imaging of atomic structure with γ-ray holography is demonstrated. A complex hologram was constructed from holograms recorded for different values of the nuclear scattering amplitude on both sides of the 57Fe Mössbauer resonance. The holographic reconstruction was applied to this complex hologram resulting in a twin-image-free image of the bcc Fe local structure. The proposed procedure allows the removal of the twin images for all real space, making γ-ray holography an unambiguous tool for atomic and magnetic structure imaging.
