''Resolution'', in structure determinations, is the distance corresponding to the smallest observable feature: if two objects are closer than this distance, they appear as one combined blob rather than two separate objects. | ''Resolution'', in structure determinations, is the distance corresponding to the smallest observable feature: if two objects are closer than this distance, they appear as one combined blob rather than two separate objects. | ||

Resolution is the smallest distance between crystal lattice planes that is resolved in the diffraction pattern. High numeric values of resolution, such as 4 Å, mean poor resolution, while low numeric values, such as 1.5 Å, mean good resolution. | Resolution is the smallest distance between crystal lattice planes that is resolved in the diffraction pattern.
