Measurement of the separation between atoms beyond diffraction limit
... In the above two regimes, the situation slightly complicates if both atoms are located near-symmetrically around a node or an anti-node. In this case, Ω1 ≈ Ω2 , such that the two sideband peaks (or doublets) overlap. One way to resolve this is to adequately change the standing wave field phase. By t ...

Quantitative evaluation of light microscopes based on image
... The characterization of the electro-optical system by means of measuring the OTF (λ) requires near-monochromatic light. For this purpose four narrow-bandpass interference filters are used, each with a bandwidth of 10 nm. The center wavelengths of these filters are 400 nm, 500 nm, 600 nm, and 700 nm ...
