   Resolving power
   The resolving power of a lens is a measure of its ability to closely spaced objects so they are recognizable as individual objects. It is determined by photographing a series of closely spaced lines, measuring the spacing between the most closely spaced lines that appear separate on film. The resolv...

3. 
   resolving power
   (1) The resolution of an optical system defines the closest proximity of two objects that can be seen as two distinct regions of the image. This limit depends upon the Numerical Aperture (N.A.) of the optical system, the contrast step between objects and background and the shape of the objects. The ...

   resolving power
   The ability of a telescope to distinguish between two closely separated objects. It is ultimately limited by diffraction but, in the case of ground-based instruments, is also compromised by the smearing effect of the Earth's atmosphere. The use of interferometers and new techniques such as adaptive ...

    Resolving Power
    In a mass spectrum, the observed mass divided by the difference between two masses that can be separated: m/Dm. The method by which Dm was obtained and the mass at which the measurement was made should be reported.
