how to determine the resolution power of it? has it got anything to do with correlation wavelength? just wondering how it is calculated?

The resolution (in the scanning plane) usually depends on the tip geometry- how sharp the tip is, and how well one can deconvolve the tip shape.

Hi Andy, thanks. i see, but the experiment asking how to improve resolution power? i suppose using a slower scan rate and slow tip velocity would do the tricks. on the other hand. isn't it the resolution = scan size / sample per line? similar to the dot per inch resolution? btw, are you relative of Robert Resnick? just curious.
