What is resolution? A statistical minimax testing perspective on superresolution microscopy
何谓分辨率:超分辨显微成像的统计极小极大检验视角
As a general rule of thumb the resolution of a light microscope (i.e., the ability to discern objects) is predominantly described by the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of its point spread function (psf)—the diameter of the blurring density at half of its maximum. Classical wave optics suggests a linear relationship between FWHM and resolution also manifested in the well-known Abbe and Rayleigh criteria, dating back to the end of the 19th century. However, during the last…
