Under favourable conditions, the resolution of the human eye or ability to distinguish the twoness of adjoining lines, is about I minute of arc while the threshold delectability, or the detection of misaligned steps in a line (which is also a form of visual acuity), can be as low as a fraction of a second of arc.


pteroic acid (medicine)


pteroic acid


A constituent of folic acid, containing p-aminobenzoic acid and pteridine linked by a -CH2-group between the amino group of the former and C-6 of the latter.
