Ideal pixel spacing for mapping experiments is 2 x Focal Length x Wavelength of light observed. Since the light is 250-500 microns in wavelength, our pixel spacing and size is quite large compared to optical / UV detectors (where the wavelengths are in the nanometers).

One of the scientists on this project does it all the time. Mostly to upset me.
