...It is expressed as n ・sinα, where n is the refractive index of the medium and α is the angle that the light ray from an object point on the optical axis makes with the radius of the entrance pupil (effective aperture of the optical system). For example, in a microscope, the minimum distance between two points on an object that can be distinguished is called the resolution limit, which is given by 0.61λ/NA in the case of aberration-free imaging (λ is the wavelength used). In other words, the resolution limit is determined inversely proportional to the numerical aperture, and is not dependent on the magnification. *Some of the terminology that refers to "resolution limit" is listed below.

…媒質の屈折率をn,光軸上の物点から出る光線が入射ひとみ(光学系の有効口径)の半径に対して張る角をαとしてn・sinαで表される。例えば顕微鏡では区別して見ることのできる物体の2点間の最小距離を解像限界と呼び,これは無収差結像の場合0.61λ/NAで与えられる(λは使用波長)。すなわち解像限界は開口数に逆比例して決まり,倍率によるのではない。… ※「解像限界」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
