11 What I believed around 1990: the resolution limiting effect of diffraction can be overcome ( ) by fully exploiting the properties of the fluorophores. Combined with modern quantum optical techniques the scanning (confocal) microscope has the potential of dramatically improving the resolution in far-field light microscopy. SWH, Opt. Commun. 106 (1994) accepted November 1993
