Example of a Euclid chromatic PSF for an assumed SED of a SBc-type galaxy at a redshift of one. The flux in the image was rescaled to its maximum value and oversampled by a factor of three with respect to the native VIS pixel size of 0′.′1. Diffraction spikes are clearly visible at a significant distance from the centre despite the blurring due to the chromaticity. The full width at half maximum, including its variation across the field of view, is , comparable with the Euclid pixel size, so images will be undersampled at the Nyquist limit. The ellipticity is
, with the super script and subscript denoting absolute ranges.
