Yes, it is. Plus the processed image, multiplied with what you hope to
gain in resolution, according to Nyquist. If resolution is supposed to
be 1.7x better, with the smaller pixel size in x and y required that
would be 1.7x1.7 x 33 = 95 times more data than standard.

Or is it sufficient to record with normal pixel size and the smaller
pixel size results from the reconstruction only?
