Increase in numerical aperture leads to a decrease in line width?
According to the formula, an increase in numerical aperture leads to a decrease in minimum line width and thus better resolution. However, if were to draw it out, given the same depth of focus, why does the minimum line width increase with higher numerical aperture? -
