52. Under ideal conditions (no light scattering from side or front emission through the ITO substrates, as well as perfect lenses exhibiting minimal optical losses), the dimensions of the smallest self-luminous features resolvable should be ∼1 μm (N. A. = 0.25) and 250 nm (N. A. = 0.9). See: Selected Papers on Optical Microscopy; Rhodes, M. R., Ed.; SPIE Optical Engineering Press: Washington, 2000, pp 163-172.
