Short title	Graph of aperture diameter vs angular resolution at the diffraction limit
Image title	Log-log plot of aperture diameter vs angular resolution at the diffraction limit for various light wavelengths compared with various astronomical instruments, by CMG Lee. For example, the blue star shows that the Hubble Space Telescope is almost diffraction-limited in the visible spectrum at 0.1 arcsecs, whereas the red circle shows that the human pupil should have a resolving power of 20 arcsecs in theory, though normally only 60 arcsecs.
