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 ...

1. <optics> 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 of the optical system, the contrast step between objects and background and the shape of the objects. The often quoted Airy limit applies only to sel...

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 resolving power is expressed as the number of li...

(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 often quoted Airy limit applies only to self-luminous discs. (2) In genetics, the smallest map distance measurable by an experiment involving a certain number of classified recombinant progency.

Type: Term Definitions: 1. definition of a lens; in a microscope objective lens it is calculated by dividing the wavelength of the light used by twice the numeric aperture of the objective. 2. analogies to other modalities, two-point discrimination in neurologic examination. Commonly misinterpreted as random error, although it has none of its prope...
