“… 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.”

What I believed around 1990:
