Which risk increases when applying partially coherent laser light to measure sub-wavelength structures?

💡 Explanation

Speckle noise from *interference* reduces image resolution because the light source's partial coherence causes random constructive/destructive interference patterns. Therefore, increased speckle noise is the outcome, rather than chromatic aberration resulting from polychromatic sources or photobleaching/thermal lensing requiring higher power.
