Image blur

High energy ions can be used to expose resist materials (>100 keV ions are needed to penetrate typical resist layers) with the promise of less image blurring due to lateral scattering (proximity effect) than electrons. 

I clapped my hands three times. The image blurred, steadied slightly, and then faded—all except those two red eyes. I yelled out the words of dismissal, but of course those were addressed to Putrid and I did not know the name of this other fiend, to which it had betrayed me. For a moment the mirror showed the two hate-filled red eyes superimposed on me and the atelier behind me. Then, mercifully, they disappeared.

Nostradamus may risk bmshing off a patrician s questions, but I do not have an international reputation to protect me. The way he has explained it to me, Excellency, is that there are many possible futures. The Lord gives all His children free will. There is a future where you decide to go to early Mass on Sunday, and a future where you go later, yes There may be others, but only one of them will come to pass. The ideal situation would be that whoever has taken your sister has firm plans to remain in one place for a while, or be in some place at a certain time—a rendezvous, say. You see Then one future is much more likely than the others and my master can foresee it and advise on appropriate action. If anything interferes to upset their plans, then the image blurs and disappears, like a canal reflection when a gondola goes by. Does that make sense ... 

Image Blur in CA Resists. The mobility of the acid catalyst in the film influences CA resist performance. At the molecular level, the proton must move from site to site to effect acid-catalyzed reactions in the resist film. If the mobility is too great, however, the initial spatial profile of photogenerated acid will be blurred and the final developed resist image will appear distorted. The problem becomes more acute at finer resolution. In those situations where diffusion of the... 

Fig. 14.22a-c. Motion artifacts cause image blur on axial images (a), but are best appreciated using 2D oblique coronal or sagittal images, which show luminal incongruity along Z-axis of the colon, (b,c, arrows)...
