Optical resolution

This article is about optical resolution in optics. For the method, in chemistry, of separating enantiomers, see Chiral resolution.

Optical resolution is the resolved detail of an imaging system by scale. An imaging system may have many individual components, including one or more lenses, and/or recording and display components. Each of these contributes (given suitable design, and adequate alignment) to the optical resolution of the system; the environment in which the imaging is done often is a further important factor.
