1. A system for sensing at an increased resolution an aerial image exhibiting a light intensity distribution at a primary resolution, the system comprising:

  • a photo-electron emission unit to sense the aerial image and, in response, emit electrons in a pattern corresponding to the light intensity distribution of the aerial image;

    electron optics to project an enlarged pattern of the pattern of electrons emitted by the photo-electron emission unit;

    a sensing unit to sense the enlarged pattern; and

    an image analysis unit, coupled to the sensing unit, to digitize the enlarged pattern.
