Figure 1. Schematic diagram of image formation through a turbulent atmosphere. (a) Image formation outside the atmosphere: diffraction-limited image. (b) Image formation through Earth's atmosphere; image is badly degraded. (c) Image formation using speckle techniques; envelope results from atmosphere seeing while the high-resolution features result from the resolution of the full aperture.
