This is a brick wall phenomenon : the point at which aliasing occurs is the point at there is no meaningful resolution of the target, just mush. > - System noise Shouldn't count for much in high-contrast tests used for MTF testing, though the inherent contrast of the scanner system will affect results. Of course they are testing the whole scanner system, presumably, including its own lens. So optical losses like flare and aberrations will figure in empirical results - and so they should, if they are to bear any relevance to real-life use.
