SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the applicability of the Nyquist Theorem to a detector with 500 pixels and a pixel size of 5 µm. The participants clarify that the sampling rate is determined to be 1 / (5 µm), leading to a spatial sampling of 0.01 µm per pixel. Once the pixel size is accurately accounted for, the application of the Nyquist Theorem becomes straightforward, confirming that the theorem is indeed applicable in this scenario.
