Abstract
Superresolution permits fine details to be observed that cannot be resolved by standard optical instruments. me demonstrate that superresolution is no thing more than an adaptation of degrees of freedom converted from the spat ial domain to some other domains and vice verse. The tool used for the requ ired conversion and adaptation is the Wigner chart. In addition, we shaw th at the Wigner chart may he naturally applied for analyzing and understandin g complex optical setups used for obtaining superresolution.
