Rayleigh’s criterion is used to determine when two objects are barely resolved by a lens of diameter d. The angular separation must be greater than θR where θR = 1.22 λ/d In order to resolve two objects 4000 nm apart at a distance of 20 cm with a lens of diameter 5 cm, what energy (a) photons or (b) electrons should be used? Is this consistent with the uncertainty principle?
