Abstract
A method is developed to optimize the lateral resolution of a scanning proton microprobe using a 3 MeV cyclotron beam. The most important pa rt of the method is the optimization of an asymmetrical quadrupole qua druplet, based on second-order relationships between diaphragm widths and the full width of the spot. A STIM example is presented of cellula r structures of rat-heart tissue.
