Confocal microscopes are therefore often operated with wider pinholes, producing a lateral resolution that is comparable to that of the conventional microscope.
The NanoSIMS is capable of sub50 nm lateral resolution whilst imaging negatively charged secondary ions (with Cs^sup +^ primary ions) and sub-150 nm lateral resolution for positive secondary ions (with O^sup -^ primary ions).
The highly focused x-ray beam allows a lateral resolution of about 30 microns.
