20. The modeling of our imaging system (triplet lens) yields a point-spread response function with a half width at half maximum value of ~ 2 μ m, much smaller than the typical radius of the gas (20 μ m). The transverse displacement of the atoms during the imaging pulse (duration 60 μ s) can be accounted for by a convolution of the initial density profile with a Gaussian of width 1.5 μ m. Also, their longitudinal displacement 30 μ m is too small to significantly defocus the image.
