Figure 7
Resolution of an imaging system with a combined CRL objective and a square aperture in the back focal plane. Shown are results from geometrical optics, , and from FrFT simulations, , as a function of aperture size. In the intermediate region where the two components contribute equally to the resolution, geometrical optics fails at predicting the resolution. Simulation details: 2D wavefront, 1000 × 1000 pixels, 10 nm pixel size, PSF widths extracted from Gaussian fitting to vertical line profiles through the optical axis; see also `Example_Figure_7.m' of Pedersen (2017). |
