Optimal transfer functions for bandwidth-limited imaging

One of the fundamental limits of classical optical microscopy is the diffraction limit of optical resolution. It results from the finite bandwidth of the optical transfer function (or OTF) of an optical microscope, which restricts the maximum spatial frequencies that are transmitted by a microscope....
