← ScienceWhich outcome limits optical resolution in molecular imaging?
A)Diffraction from finite aperture size✓
B)Aberrations in the excitation beam
C)Quantum yield saturation threshold
D)Photobleaching of fluorophore molecules
💡 Explanation
Diffraction limits resolution because light waves spread as the light passes through the objective aperture, creating a blurred image, rather than a perfect point. Therefore, diffraction determines the achievable resolution limit, because other effects such as aberrations contribute to image degradation.
