In 2D-LC the separation behaviour is more complex and described below.

D resolution measurement: Slice for resolution (top) and 2-dimensional
contour plot (bottom)
The distance between two spots in the contour plot may be calculated by the
Pythagorean expression:
For the resolution along the axis of each dimension applies:
and
So for two dimensions the resolution may be calculated as follows:
