33. The results of our calibration at the Heidelberg tandem are very similar to the results presented in Ref.. Only small differences in the absolute deposited energy values have occurred, that belong to the different scanners used, working at different wavelengths. The maximum resolvable optical density of our scanner is 2.5.
