Time-independent Schroedinger equation solution in paraxial approximation is obtained for de Broglie wave of electron. The solution results in exact ratios for spatial resolution of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) of nanoobjects on a metal substrate. STM experiments on semiconductor and metal ca...
