Far from the diffraction limit, and with negligible dispersion contribution, the source phase-space area scales as εxεy. At fixed photonflux, source-point optical functions and spectral conditions, brightness is inversely proportional to that product. The leading estimates therefore give
Using the coupling-partition refinement in part b consistently gives about 275 instead. Both estimates assume comparable current, photonflux and insertion devices. They would cease to apply once photon diffraction emittance or other source-size contributions become important; the question specifically excludes that regime.
