Summary edit

Description
English: Two airy disks at various spacings: (top) twice the distance to the first minimum, (middle) exactly the distance to the first minimum (the Rayleigh criterion), and (bottom) half the distance. This image uses a nonlinear color scale (specifically, the fourth root) in order to better show the minima and maxima.
Русский: Изображение, накладывающихся друг на друга, двух дисков Эри (Эйри), расположенных на расстояниях порядка предела Эри.
  • (Верх) на расстоянии диаметра диска Эри,
  • (Середина) на расстоянии радиуса диска Эри,
  • (Низ) на расстоянии в половину радиуса диска Эри.
В изображении применена нелинейная шкала яркости, чтобы лучше показать минимумы и максимумы.
