title: A simple method to measure resolution on micrographs.
abstract: A method for rapid measurement of the resolution of a microscope by finding the smallest distance between pairs of points that appear on two successive micrographs is described. The method based on the visualization of moire pattern gives the same result as other tests with a precision sufficient for routine checks. Neither a special instrument nor time consuming training are required.
