Goal
We would like to be able resolve individual atoms in a 760nm square lattice.
Approach
The diffraction limit tells us that we cannot have two point sources closer than 
and hope to resolve them. Therefore, in order to get the best resolution possible, we are trying to make 
as small as possible by collecting photons from the 405nm transition in 40K, and making the numerical aperture, 
, as large as possible by getting very close to the atoms:
