I'm still having problems with this..
With my system in its native F8.0 configuration I can expect around a 10
micron Airy disk. A good match for my 9 micron pixels.
If I reduce the focal length I might get 6 micron airy disks. Those big pixels won't notice any more photons....the aperture has remained the same...hence I'm unsure of what you mean by "more intense"
