resolving power
Resolving power is the ability of an optical device, such as a microscope, telescope or camera, to distinguish, detect or separate adjacent or closely located objects or details. It is typically influenced by the wavelength of the light that is being observed or imaged, and by the characteristics of the optical system being used. In other words, it's a measure of the detailed information that can be seen or captured.
