Table 3.4 gives an overview of the angular resolution
available from the Plateau de Bure interferometer and the
CMVA-VLBA mm-wavelength VLBI-arrays (USA + Europe). The table
gives for comparison the parameters of the Pico Veleta 30-m
telescope (Spain). The table gives also the linear scale
corresponding to the angular resolution for a source
located at 50 Million pc distance.
