% Compute the diffraction limit for coherent light.
% (For incoherent light the answer is 2*s0.)
% See page 120 in Goodman.
%
% "pupil" diameter in mm
% "nm" is wavelength in nm
% "s0" is highest spatial frequency passed by the pupil in cycles/deg

% Goodman's formula involves di, which I think is the distance to the
% image. Goodman's formula gives the limit in
% cycles/unit length. The formula below gives
% the answer in cycles/degree.
