Thickness of Saturn's rings

Has the Cassini probe led to an accurate figure for thickness of Saturn's
rings yet? The estimates vary widely even in relatively modern textbooks.
I've heard that they may be only 30 feet in maximum thickness. Hard to
believe that something so thin can be seen right across the solar system.
