Figure 8
Total time for δr = 20 nm-resolution imaging of copper features in silicon (a) and protein features in 30% protein/70% water tissue (b) as a function of specimen thickness t. This estimate uses the per-pixel imaging time of Fig. 7 as input to the calculation of equation (12). The time estimate includes no allowance for `dead time' in the imaging process or any inefficiency losses in the imaging process. |
