Question
Chapter 3.2, Problem 5CYP
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Why a smaller resolving power (RP) value is preferred to a larger one and what it means if the resolving power is 1.0 µm.
Introduction:
Resolution or RP is the capacity of an optical system to distinguish two closely placed objects from one another. Microorganisms are extremely small and very close together. Seeing them with clarity is possible only if they can be resolved by the microscope’s lenses.

To which parameter in Abbe’s equation can the limitation in resolving power be attributed? Explain.
Consider a bi convex lens with radius of curvatures |R1| = 30 mm and |R2| = 180 mm, ct = 5 mm and glass is N-BK7. This is used as camera lens in order to image a man who is at 1 km away from the camera. We want to resolve 10 cm on his body. Assume that λ = 550 nm. Using zemax, determine the MTF value for the resolution of R = 80 lp / mm in image plane which is placed at paraxial focus. (Hint: First, find the diameter of the lens)
