It lets you visualize the result of the multiple-wave interferences produced in the interferometer cavity when an extended source emitting two extremely close wavelengths is used. In this way, the resolving power of the instrument can be observed under different conditions. The influence of the reflection coefficient of the interferometer inner faces on the visibility and the resolving power can be investigated as well
