  2. 1951 USAF resolution test chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1951_USAF_resolution_test...

    A USAF 1951 resolution chart in PDF format is provided by Yoshihiko Takinami. This chart should be printed such that the side of the square of the 1st element of the group -2 should be 10 mm long. USAF 1951 Resolution Target Further explanations and examples; Koren 2003: Norman Koren's updated resolution chart better suited for computer analysis

  3. Magnification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnification

    Images displayed on a computer screen change size based on the size of the screen. A scale bar (or micron bar) is a bar of stated length superimposed on a picture. When the picture is resized the bar will be resized in proportion. If a picture has a scale bar, the actual magnification can easily be calculated.

  4. Microscopic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscopic_scale

    In physics, the microscopic scale is sometimes regarded as the scale between the macroscopic scale and the quantum scale. [2] [3] Microscopic units and measurements are used to classify and describe very small objects. One common microscopic length scale unit is the micrometre (also called a micron) (symbol: μm), which is one millionth of a metre.

  5. Diffraction-limited system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction-limited_system

    Memorial in Jena, Germany to Ernst Karl Abbe, who approximated the diffraction limit of a microscope as = ⁡, where d is the resolvable feature size, λ is the wavelength of light, n is the index of refraction of the medium being imaged in, and θ (depicted as α in the inscription) is the half-angle subtended by the optical objective lens (representing the numerical aperture).

  6. Shape factor (image analysis and microscopy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_factor_(image...

    The aspect ratio is agreeable with an eyeball-estimate on a globe. Such an estimate on a typical flat map, using the Mercator projection, would be less accurate due to the distorted scale at high latitudes. The circularity is deceptively low, due to the fjords that give Greenland a very jagged coastline (see the coastline paradox). A low value ...

  7. Scanning probe microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_probe_microscopy

    Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is a branch of microscopy that forms images of surfaces using a physical probe that scans the specimen. SPM was founded in 1981, with the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope, an instrument for imaging surfaces at the atomic level.

  8. Plate scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_scale

    The plate scale of a telescope connects the angular separation of an object with the linear separation of its image at the focal plane. If focal length f {\displaystyle f} is measured in mm, the plate scale in radians per mm is given by angular separation θ and the linear separation of the image at the focal plane s , or by simply the focal ...

  9. Traveling microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling_microscope

    The instrument comprises a microscope mounted on two rails fixed to, or part of a very rigid bed. The position of the microscope can be varied coarsely by sliding along the rails, or finely by turning a screw. The eyepiece is fitted with fine cross-hairs to fix a precise position, which is then read off the vernier scale. [1]
