| Magnification | ×105 000 | ×130 000 | ×165 000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pixel size (Å) | 1.34 | 1.04 | 0.81 |
| Beam size (diameter) (nm) | 750 | 600 | 450 |
| No. of shots per 2 µm diameter hole | 5 | 9 | 15 |
| Area imaged (considering a K2 camera, 3838 × 3710 pixels) (µm2) | ∼1.3 | ∼1.4 | ∼1.4 |
| Electron dose rate at the camera (electrons per pixel per second) | 4 | 4 | 4 |
