Abstract
Problems such as the determination of the sizes of microparticles by light scattering or the improvement of the images of a confocal scanning laser microscope require the solution of first-kind linear integral equations. In this paper we review our work intended to understand the limits of resolution which may be achieved in these problems. The results obtained are relevant not only for the correct interpretation of the output of commercial instruments but also for the improvement of their design.
