+==== Resolving Power & Resolution ====
+The //resolving power// is defined as $R = \frac{\lambda}{\Delta \lambda}$, where $\lambda$ is the wavelength and $\Delta \lambda$ the wavelength interval defined as the //spectral resolution//.
+The spectral resolution is the smallest wavelength interval that can be distinguished and is expressed in
+wavelength units as Å or nanometers. In addition, it can be expressed as the $\Delta \lambda = \text{FWHM}_{\text{Instrument}} = \frac{\lambda}{R}$.
+The FWHM values are measured with SpcAudace at
