Figure 2. Image of a cape dandelion (Arctotheca calendula) flower recorded through a mechano-optical device at different distances. (A) 10 (0.06), (B) 20 (0.08), (C) 30 (0.12), (D) 40 (0.15), (E) 50 (0.18), (F) 60 cm (0.22) where numbers in brackets show the approximate spatial frequency considering the seven cycles in petal frequency from the top to the bottom of the image. (G) Representation of how random noise in the optical array system has a small effect on resolution at low spatial frequencies. (H) Representation of how random noise in the optical array system has a large effect on resolution at high spatial frequencies.
