 | Abbe studied physics and mathematics as an undergraduate at the University of Jena and went to graduate school at the University of Göttingen, where he received a doctorate in thermodynamics. |
 | According to Abbe, a detail with a particular spacing in the specimen is resolved when the numerical aperture (NA) of the objective lens is large enough to capture the first-order diffraction pattern produced by the detail at the wavelength employed. |
 | Ernst Abbe demonstrated that if a grating is employed for a specimen and its conoscopic image is examined at the rear aperture of the objective lens with the condenser aperture closed to a minimum, an orderly series of images of the condenser iris opening is observed. |
