His finding indicated that ultimately the resolution of an imaging instrument is not constrained by the quality of the instrument, but by the wavelength of light used and the aperture of its optics.
The great precision of excimer lasers results from the fact that the resolution achievable in laser materials processing is inversely related to the laser wavelength — the shorter the emission ...
The traditional limit for resolution in optical imaging, known as the diffraction limit, restricts the ability to see details smaller than half the wavelength of light. This new imager overcomes ...
