TL;DR: An expression for the distribution of light in the image of two small apertures which are illuminated by a condenser of numerical aperture equal to s times that of the imaging objective is given in this paper.
Abstract: An expression is found for the distribution of light in the image of two small apertures which are illuminated by a condenser of numerical aperture equal to s times that of the imaging objective The resolving power of the system is written ρ=Kλ/(NA), and K is found as a function of s It is shown that precisely the same result obtains for both critical and Kohler illumination

TL;DR: In this paper, the diffraction theory for arbitrary aberrations of a symmetrical optical system is developed for the case that the amount of aberration is small and the aberration function, which measures the deviation of the actual wavefront from a sphere, is expanded in a series of the so-called circle polynomials, which were introduced by Zernike in a problem closely related to the one treated here.
