Keywords:Image formation theory, Optical microscopy, Resolution limit

We formulate the image formation theory that can deal with all optical microscopy. This theory is expressed by one unified formula that includes Abbe’s theory as the lowest-order optical phenomenon. We provide the theoretical framework to overview and understand the optical resolution of all microscopy. By using Feynman diagram describing each optical phenomenon, we derive the close connection between diagram and optical resolution.
