Abstract
We present a general description of the concept of resolution consisting of: diffraction limit of resolution, geometrical resolution and noise equivalent resolution. We will also distinguish between the space bandwidth (SW) chart of a signal and of a system. The importance of the dynamic range of the detector as an additional factor that determines the number of degrees of freedom will be emphasized. Finally, we introduce the 3-D SW adaptation process where the dynamic range of the detector is considered as another axis of adaptation.
