This article is about specifying the units of the Discrete Fourier Transform of an image and the various ways that they can be expressed. This apparently simple task can be fiendishly unintuitive.
The image we will use as an example is the familiar Airy Pattern from the last few posts, at f/16 with light of mean 530nm wavelength. Zoomed in to the left in Figure 1; and as it looks in its 1024×1024 sample image to the right:
