Diffraction-limited system
Optical system with resolution performance at the instrument's theoretical limit
Optical system with resolution performance at the instrument's theoretical limit
In optics, any optical instrument or system—a microscope, telescope, or camera—has a principal limit to its resolution due to the physics of diffraction. An optical instrument is said to be diffraction-limited if it has reached this limit of resolution performance. Other factors may affect an optical system's performance, such as lens imperfections or aberrations, but these are caused by errors in the manufacture or calculation of a lens, whereas the diffraction limit is the maximum resolution possible for a theoretically perfect, or ideal, optical system.
