Simulated data were generated with a 3-D phantom and the theoretical PSF, which is defined to be the ‘true’ PSF for the simulation. Reconstructions of the phantom were obtained with each of the theoretical PSFs obtained from the beads using a regularized linear least-squares method (Preza <em>et al.</em>, 1992, <em>J. Opt. Soc. Am.</em>, <strong>9:</strong> 219–228). Results show a significant drop (more than 50%) in the signal-to-noise ratio of the reconstructions for beads with diameter large than 0.22 μm. These results suggest that the bead used in the PSF measurement should have a diameter less than 30% of the diameter of the first dark ring of the infocus two-dimensional (2-D) PSF. This study quantifies the tradeoff between the quality of the reconstructions and the bead size used in the PSF measurement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100925,"journal":{"name":"Micron and Microscopica Acta","volume":"23 4","pages":"Pages 501-513"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0739-6260(92)90024-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72883566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that the thinning rate for solids and the etching rate for biological specimens, when prepared by a normal double fixation and staining method, can be measured from the sputtering yield and density of the specimens. It was also found that the thinning and etching rates depend on the removal weight per sublimation energy and bonding energy, respectively. The angular distribution of sputtering yield, its dependence on incident angle and the secondary electron emission yield were measured, and the optimum etching condition of the incidence was obtained.
