Analyze light intensity with this tool. Optical Resolution model computes the image from two point sources as seen through a circular aperture such as a telescope or a microscope. The simulation allows the user to vary the distance between the light sources and the diameter of the aperture, as well as the intensity of the light source.

For two point sources, as the distance between the point decreases, the diffraction patterns begin to overlap until eventually they become undistinguishable and it is no longer possible to determine if there are one or two images. According to the Rayleigh criterion, two images are resolvable when the center of the diffraction maximum of one image is aligned with the first minimum in the diffraction pattern of the second image.
