It resulted that while the linear system is able to accept a larger solid angle (∼50 msr), the spherical mirror offers a better resolving power (around 71,000).
MP analysis of combined gene order and gene content data proved to have a better resolving power than the analyses based on the individual data alone, even though bootstrap support for some nodes were not significantly higher.

The 8 megapixel sensor does not imply a better resolved image than a 5 megapixel sensor, like the one on a Defy I had around.
News & Media
A recent study of the Oryza phylogeny generated a better resolved phylogeny based on 20 chloroplast fragments (Tang et al. 2010).
Science
MIRB and Cell Sense uptake was assessed by confocal microscopy (Fig. 1a and b) to evaluate the labelling efficiency; cytoplasmic distribution in MSCs was observed through structured illumination microscopy (Fig. 1c and d), which provides a better resolved image and a more precise MIRB and Cell Sense localisation in MSC.
Denser molecular sampling of these East Asian genera is therefore highly desirable, both to generate a better resolved and better supported phylogeny and to place phylogenetically the remaining, systematically ambiguous species.
Science
It is interesting to note that at the low density, Nmax = 5 fits almost 3 times more emitters than Nmax = 1 case, and thus the pattern result shows a better resolved structure near the center and provides better resolution compared to Nmax = 1 fitting result.
Science
Using a dataset representing all major lineages from Lamiales, the goal of the present study was to investigate inter-familial relationships within Lamiales, in the hope to come up with a better resolved tree that provides the basis for an interpretation of the evolution of the above-mentioned morphological, ecological, and molecular peculiarities observed in the order.
Science
However, the γ1 ERV env phylogenies using fewer species showed a better resolved tree with species from Eurasia grouping apart from African suids, suggesting that the number of viral sequences samples from each suid host would not be an explanation for the poor resolution of γ2 ERV env phylogeny.
Science
Here we report a new image-processing algorithm that can yield a better resolution by resolving the accurate orientation and shift parameters of each individual structural module respectively.

Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Instead of "a better resolving", consider using "a better resolution" or "an improved resolution" to maintain grammatical correctness and clarity.
Common error
Avoid using a gerund (resolving) directly after the adjective "better" when you intend to describe the quality of a resolution. Use the noun form "resolution" instead.

FAQs
What's a more grammatically sound alternative to "a better resolving"?
Alternatives include "a better resolution" or "an improved resolution". These options use the noun form "resolution" instead of the gerund "resolving", aligning with standard English grammar.
How can I use the concept of "improved clarity" correctly in a sentence?
Instead of saying "This method offers a better resolving", try "This method offers a better resolution" or "This method provides "improved clarity"".
Is there a difference between "a better resolving" and "a better resolution"?
Yes. "A better resolving" is grammatically incorrect. The correct form is "a better resolution", which uses the noun form and accurately conveys the idea of improved clarity or solution.
When should I use "resolution" instead of "resolving"?
Use "resolution" when you're referring to the quality or state of being resolved. "Resolving" is a verb form (gerund) and is not appropriate to describe a thing. Use "resolution" after adjectives like "better", "improved", or "clearer" to correctly describe "improved clarity" or problem-solving.
