150 years ago, Ernst Abbe’s resolution formula was published and revolutionized #microscope manufacturing and #optical lithography. The formula made it possible to calculate the achievable resolution of optics. 🔬 #throwback Today, the formula is still significant for the development of microscopes and the production of microchips, which are found in devices we use every day, e.g. in our computers, smartphones or cars. Thank you, Ernst Abbe, for paving the way for us, especially for ZEISS Micros
