Scaleheight (hz) values and related uncertainties as derived from the vertical profile fitting at 100, 160 and 250 μm, together with the physical scale of the PSF, given at each wavelength.

Notes. The second to last column contains the vertical scaleheight of the dust as derived from radiative transfer fits to V-band images by Xilouris et al. (1997, 1999) or Bianchi (2007) (for the two galaxies in common between both samples, we list the average value). The last column contains the scaleheight that would result from an infinitesimally thin expontial disc, observed with the actual inclination of the galaxy (see Appendix A). All scaleheights and FWHM values are expressed in kpc.
