... be the limiting factor. DLC may circumvent the Abbé limit for two reasons. First, because the effective source of illumination (the convex edge) is placed near the level of the field-stop, the illuminating light path is precisely the same as the image-forming light path. This can be proven by the fa ...

... these two regions in order to solve one of the two equations (2.2). In this case the procedure to solve the vector wave equation is as follows. As a first step this equation is solved separately for each region. Then, in the second step, by patching the solution together via boundary conditions, we ...

... If the /N is an integer number, the denominator of IG in equation (7) also vanishes. A mathematical consideration leads to the result that in this case the intensity must be N2IS. These maxima occur at angles in accordance with equation (7), and they are much stronger as compared to the intensity o ...

Thomas Young (scientist)



Thomas Young (13 June 1773 – 10 May 1829) was an English polymath and physician. Young made notable scientific contributions to the fields of vision, light, solid mechanics, energy, physiology, language, musical harmony, and Egyptology. He ""made a number of original and insightful innovations""in the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs (specifically the Rosetta Stone) before Jean-François Champollion eventually expanded on his work. He was mentioned by, among others, William Herschel, Hermann von Helmholtz, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein. Young has been described as ""The Last Man Who Knew Everything"".
