Table 1. Key features of CL, AL, and CT.
CL | AL | CT |
---|---|---|
+High resolution in xy plane. | +High resolution in xy plane. | +Uniform, but potentially reduced resolution in x, y, z. |
−Blurring in z direction. | +Medium resolution in z direction, i.e. typical CL artifacts are suppressed to a large degree. | −Sample has to fit into the FOV. |
+Large geometric magnifications can be achieved. | −Increased scanning times. | −Strong attenuation for flat, extended objects. |
+Reduced attenuation for flat, extended objects. |
