SEM calibration standard

Calibration standard with a nominal 100 nm line pitch, measured center to center as the standard's reference specifies. Mean pitch 99.1 ± 2.2 nm (mean ± SD, n = 50: five adjacent line pairs, each measured at ten positions along the lines). Line centers are the midpoints of each line's full width at half maximum; pixel size 0.45 nm.
