Abstract
The general transmission factors for line structures, when illuminated with partially coherent light and imaged by a system with spherical aberrations, are calculated and discussed. The theory is adapted to a practical case when a sharp edge is imaged by a microscope objective. The experimental results show good agreement with the theoretically computed intensity distributions.
