==Confusion of high and low resolution==
==Confusion of high vs. low resolution==
High resolution is characterized by being able to distinguish smaller features, so there is an inverse relationship between the quality of a structure and the length scale given for the resolution. For example, a 1.0 Angstrom structure resolves finer detail than a 4.0 Angstrom structure, so the 1.0 Angstrom structure is said to have higher resolution than the 4.0 Angstrom structure.
