rayleigh disk
The Rayleigh disk is a unit of measurement used in optics to describe the criterion for the resolvability of closely spaced objects. Specifically, two point sources are said to be just resolvable (or at the Rayleigh criterion) when the center of the diffraction pattern of one is directly over the first minimum of the diffraction pattern of the other. It is named after the British physicist Lord Rayleigh who first proposed the concept.
