This lecture covers the concept of spatial resolution in optics, discussing how angular resolution relates to the distance to the object and the diameter of the light beam. It explains the diffraction limit, numerical aperture, and the practical limits of resolution in microscopes. The lecture also delves into the resolving power of microscopes, the diffraction of light, and the application of diffraction gratings in spectrometry.
