Which mechanism limits resolution in laser projection microscopy?

💡 Explanation

Diffraction causes the beam to spread past its focal volume, blurring the image; the Abbe's limit sets the minimum resolvable distance. Therefore, diffraction limits the resolution, rather than optical saturation or thermal distortion at normal illumination intensities.
