Diffraction plane & image plane

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the concepts of the diffraction plane and image plane in the context of optics. The diffraction plane is defined as the location where the diffraction pattern is observed, while the image plane is where the actual image is seen. For a deeper understanding, it is recommended to consult resources on transmission electron microscopy.

Hi,
explanation in simple way:
Diffraction plane: The plane where the diffraction pattern will be observed.
Image plane: The plane where the image will be seen.
For more detailed insight refer to any transmission electron microscopy book.
