Unless you build one or you plan to spend $1500 plus you will hard pressed to find a FFM based printer that can go below .100 microns. My delta I built will do .05 and I am about to try .025mm but I have doubts on that number.
I disagree. Unless you have slop in your Z axis, those numbers should be very attainable. I did a calculation using the reprap calculator and found that I could pull this off just fine, each layer change would require 8 steps. I'm not saying it would be easy 
0.025mm layers would deposit so little material that you would need to print quickly, and you would also need a very accurate extruder with your extrusion multiplier dialed in absurdly well.
As far as the hardware goes, it is very capable. Companies like to boast about their Z axis resolution, but really, the Z axis is the LEAST frustrating axis to deal with as far as precision goes, especially on Ultimaker-style machines like the Solidoodle and Da Vinci, where the Y axis poses the most headaches. Simply put, threaded rods are precise and if you handle the slop, they can do these resolutions quite well. A dirt cheap stepper may be the weakest link on most machines, if you check out the datasheets.
