Subject: [3dem] pixel size of Falcon I and II

Dear Lister,

I am glad to see Niko's latest paper that contains the most comprehensive comparison of commercial direct detectors. However I am still confused with the real pixel size of Falcon I an II. In table I, the pixel size of Falcon I and II are listed as 15um. But I was told that pixel size of Falcon I and II are 14um. It is also listed as 14um on Brandeis website. I am wondering it was a typo or not. It need to be clarified to the community since the error will be 7% in term of Nyquist.
