where the two-sided portion is 
long (total) and the one-sided portion is 
long (Schnopper and Thompson 1974, p. 508). The instrument function is
![M_A(k,b,d)=(sin[2pik(b+2d)])/(2pik)+i{(cos[2pik(b+2d)])/(2pik)-(sin(2b))/(4pi^2k^2b)}.](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/MertzApodizationFunction/NumberedEquation2.svg) | (2) |
