I am not sure how to ask this question. Hopefully, I will edit it to make better sense as we go.

I am trying to calculate resolution ability of a sensor. To make it simple, let's say it is an array of a 1000 x 1000 of 10 μm square pixels. If I want to achieve 10 μm resolution, I have to project a maximum size of 5000 x 5000 μm image magnified 2x?

I have an image with 10 μm wide black and white stripes and I project it onto the imager, with 1000 pixels, 10 μm square each. Do I have to do image magnification in order to achieve 10 μm resolution. That is, being able to resolve black and white stripes?

My speculation:

I fill like if the line centers will be 'in phase' with the pixel centers, I will be able to resolve them. However, if the line centers will fall between the pixels, each line will take up two pixels, meaning that I will not resolve them.

I can not change the size of the pixels, but I can change the magnification of the image/stripes. Do I follow the Nyquist principle? In this case, if I understand right, the lines should be at least twice wider than the pixel's width. So, to make it happen, I must magnify the image 2x. Do I understand it right?
