Here, "3D" is not in the sense of Stereoscopy, which is a (subjective) optical effect. Fluorescence microscopy really registers three dimensional distributions. Default007 08:31, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Diffraction

When will you see diffraction rings in a PSF and when will you not? In photography, bokeh generally doesn't show it but microscopy seems to. Does it appear when you approach the diffraction limit? Is it Fraunhofer diffraction or Fresnel diffraction? 155.212.242.34 (talk) 16:40, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
