Which outcome impairs image detail if the point spread function widens significantly in optical microscope objective lenses?

💡 Explanation

When the point spread function widens, the increased blur causes aberrations because light from a single point spreads to adjacent areas, thus decreasing image contrast. Therefore reduced contrast results, rather than noise, magnification changes, or color distortion which arise from distinct flaws.
