Table 1: Best-fit parameters derived from RT-modelling of NGC 4013, NGC 5907 and NGC 4565 in the V-band. $\tau _{V}^{f}$ is the visual optical depth when the galaxy is viewed face-on and $\theta $ is the inferred inclination of the object. $h_{\rm d}$ and $z_{\rm d}$ are, respectively, the exponential scalelength and exponential scaleheight of the dust assuming the distance listed in the second column. Distances to NGC 4013, NGC 4565 and NGC 5907 are taken, respectively, from Bottema (1995), Rupen (1991) and van der Kruit & Searle (1982).
