How to resolve better is an ever-present question in optical science, and how to judge the resolution of an optical system is therefore an important question. Following Ernst Karl Abbe (1840-1905) and John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh (1842-1919), we demonstrate Abbe’s resolution limit and the Rayleigh criterion in VirtualLab Fusion and show how to use both analyses to evaluate the performance of typical imaging systems.
Resolution Investigation for Microscope Objective Lenses by Rayleigh Criterion
Following the Rayleigh criterion, we investigate the resolution of three microscope objective lenses with different numerical apertures.
