STM resolution

[MrCaN]

does anyone have a link or a formula for calculating the resolution of a STM based on the tip size.

According to this link (http://www.iap.tuwien.ac.at/www/surface/STM_Gallery/stm_schematic.html) and a couple others, the tip of a STM is a single protruding molecule and, under ideal conditions, can record the possition of individual molecules.

So I geuss the ratio of resolution to tip size is about 1/1.
