Diffraction spikes, visible in high-power astronomical images, are an intrinsic optical phenomenon in reflecting telescopes, primarily caused by the diffraction and subsequent interference of incoming ...

The problem of the diffraction of electromagnetic waves by a circular aperture in an infinitely conducting planar screen is studied. Attention is focused chiefly on the low frequency end of the ...

What is the Diffraction Limit? The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical microscopy that sets the minimum size of features that can be resolved using conventional light microscopes. It ...

M. G. FOUSSERAU describes, in the Journal de Physique for October, a simple apparatus for viewing diffraction and interference phenomena, a modified form of which I have experimented on with success.

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...
