The seeing condition varies in a range of 0.3-1.3 mm (see [[here>Seeing Condition]]). The diffraction limit is determined by the effective telescope diameter of 6.15 m. The expected spatial resolution obtained by taking the root sum square of them is shown in the figure below. In the long-wavelength mid-infrared region, spatial resolution close to the diffraction limit can be achieved, but it can be affected by seeing in bad conditions. |LEFT:100|c |&ref(SpatialResolution.jpg,,10%);| |Expected spatial resolution in good, medium, and bad seeing conditions.| |Expected spatial resolution in good, medium, and bad seeing conditions.
