← ScienceWhich resolution limit occurs using incoherent illumination microscopy?
A)Abbe diffraction limit✓
B)Rayleigh coherence limit
C)Nyquist sampling limit
D)Shannon information limit
💡 Explanation
The Abbe diffraction limit arises in incoherent illumination because individual light waves do not interfere constructively; therefore, resolution is limited to approximately half the wavelength, rather than limits defined by coherence length, which become irrelevant.
