The finer the spatial detail in an object the wider the diffraction angle - easily seen with a laser pointer and a fine grating.

Complex frequency-based information can be decomposed into combinations of simple waveforms.

The Hunting Ground cced

Condenser N.A. must at least match that of the objective to realize full resolution.

The geometries of diffraction patterns must match the geometries of acceptance angle.

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.
