    Derivative of Axial Resolution from Rayleigh's Limit

    I am currently studying optical microscope and discover that the axial resolution is limited as r(z) = 2pi / (NA)^2. However, while I got hints that it is due to the Rayleigh's limit, I can't derivative the equation using numerical method. It would be huge thanks if anyone can help me on the...

    Why Does My Axial Fan Wobble at Certain Frequencies?

    Hi, We have an axial fan in the lab that apparently vibrates badly ("wobbles") at certain frequencies. To find the resonance and the bad frequencies, I decided to do an ANSYS modal analysis. I am still pretty new to it, and have a few questions. 1) Regardless of how many modes I pick...

    Spin Operators: Axial for QM, Polar in Clifford Algebra?

    Hello folks! New to this forum, so hoping I'm not retreading old ground. The Pauli matrices are spin angular momentum operators in quantum mechanics and thus are axial vectors. But in Clifford algebra in three dimensions they are odd basis elements and thus polar vectors. Hestenes, Baylis, other...

    Why does Earth have an axial tilt

    Why does Earth have an axial tilt? I thought it may be due to the suns mass and the gravitational effect on space. But Mercury and Venus doesn't have a tilt so I concluded that can't be a plausible explanation.
