A quick estimate of useful magnification: N.A. X 1000.

Working distance decreases with increasing acceptance angle.

Using a small aperture slider to remove diffracted orders in the transform plane eliminates detail in the image plane.

Demonstration of diffraction patterns in a test object - (Diatom test slide).

The rear focal plane of the objective can be observed using a telescope insert into the eyepiece tube.

Acceptance angle of objective must be wide enough to collect at least first order diffracted rays

Spatial information is encoded in the diffracted rays.

Spatial information in the rear focal plane.

Describes how transparent objects may only retard light without diffracting it
