27. The independence of the current on needle diameter has been widely observed in the cone-jet regime, where the cone turns into a jet that breaks into drops. However these observations have not been extended to the case of tip radii below 10 μm.

31. The reason for this low current compared with the previous work (Ref.) is not discussed in Ref., but it is probably due to the use of a smaller tip radius of curvature.
