The result was a whopping 400 lp/mm on film, recorded with the Biogon 25 at f/4 in the center of the image. This value, 400 lp/mm, corresponds to the maximum resolution theoretically possible at f/4; in other words it represents the calculated “diffraction limited” performance at this aperture. It is noteworthy that this test was conducted with a production lens on a production camera, indicating that the film was precisely positioned and flat. http://www.zeiss.com/c12567a8003b58b9/Contents Frame/30536193ed0c97a7c125711c006fc2c2
采样定理,又称香农采样定理,奈奎斯特采样定理,是信息论,特别是通讯与信号处理学科中的一个重要基本结论.E. T. Whittaker(1915年发表的统计理论),克劳德·香农 与Harry Nyquist都对它作出了重要贡献。另外,V. A. Kotelnikov 也对这个定理做了重要贡献。
采样是将一个信号(即时间或空间上的连续函数)转换成一个数值序列(即时间或空间上的离散函数)。采样定理指出:
如果按照6.25微米的弥散圆直径计算,24x36毫米的全幅传感器分辨率为5760X3840=2212万象素,APSC画幅(14.9x22.3毫米)的传感器分辨率为3568 X 2834 = 850万象素。而6.25微米直径的弥散圆相当于320lp/mm分辨率的镜头。可见,受数码传感器特性的制约,分辨率再高的镜头也无法充分发挥其性能。
