can you please let me know if this sentence is true about optical systems or not?
"Diffraction may limit the resolution achivable by an optical system"
Thanks.
"Diffraction may limit the resolution achivable by an optical system"
Thanks.
Does that include systems which are primarily limited by aberrations?yes ( not just may limit .... it WILL limit)
Im no optics expert :)Does that include systems which are primarily limited by aberrations?
Agreed, and that is why so much effort goes into design to eliminate them :)While diffraction limits the maximum possible resolution an optical system may have, I'd say that an optical system can be limited by aberrations and not diffraction if the aberrations are severe enough.
