How HD is real life?

[Vonhelmet]

you can see a pixel but can you actually see an atom with your naked eyes?

anyway you know 1920x1080 is something like 2.96mega pixels

if the human eye in mega pixel terms is 576mega pixels you get the idea of what the "HD real life" resolution is for humans.

1920x1080 = 2,073,600

Maybe i read it wrong but i dont believe thats what he asked at all.

Indeed, but let's say just on the computer screen itself, on the very surface, how many atoms would there roughly be? Would it be possible to distinguish this on just one layer?

He asked how HD is real life.

I take this as asking how many pixels would you need to replicate what the human eye can see.

I think the OP is getting confused by mentioning atoms, which you can't see......with anything.

You're right, it's not what I asked, DAnDan came closest to the kind of answer I was looking for.

I am perfectly aware you can't see individual atoms with the naked eye. It doesn't prevent you from saying how many of them you can fit on a screen and 'see' at once.

Measure your screen.
Divide by the width of an atom. I'm sure you can find this on wikipedia.

Job done.

I'm sure that on some programme i was watching ages ago it was ~250 mega pixels.

This was calculated on the amount of strands (probably a better word for this) in the optical receptor nerve thing, although I'm not 100%, but I can remember the 250 MP figure.

depends what field of view they are calculating and if that 250mp figure was probably per eye

anywya op asked "how hd is real life" atoms have nothing to do with resolutions mega pixels do so

The size of an atom is 1/10th of a millionth of a milliemetre.

You do the math, I'm off to play BF Vietnam.

You can see an atom very easily ^[facepalm], using an atomic force microscope. This in essence allows you to see atoms.

It depends more on the material, different elements = different size atoms

Carbon atoms have been arranged into the shape of a man

And that is an optical microscope is it?

Both eyes have roughly 120 million Rods, 7 million cones per eye. 254 million receptors.

So 254Megapixels.
