D'you mean aliasing? 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.

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.
