Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Two airy disks at various spacings: (top) twice the distance to the first minimum, (middle) exactly the distance to the first minimum (the Rayleigh criterion), and (bottom) half the distance.
This image uses a nonlinear color scale (specifically, the fourth root) in order to better show the minima and maxima.
Русский: Изображение, накладывающихся друг на друга, двух дисков Эри (Эйри), расположенных на расстояниях порядка предела Эри.
