6. In practice, some part of the image (usually 10-40%) is reconstructed in front of the lenticular sheet. It is only for mathematical simplicity that in Fig. 2 the whole image is assumed to be reconstructed behind the sheet.
7. An alternative, probably more reasonable definition will be Δ′ = (Δs2 + Δd2)1/2. The definition in the text (algebraic sum) is used here only for its simplicity. The difference from the second definition only makes the estimation of the over-all resolution a little more pessimistic. It is easy to show that the ratio (Δ/Δ′) is between 1 and √2.

9. In a triple mirror without curvature, the six reflected components are in the same phase with each other for any direction of incidence. Therefore, the theoretical diffraction limitation is smaller than in a curved triple mirror.
