If you want to make your head hurt check out this link to the 2014 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for super resolution fluorescence microscopy which broke through the Abbe diffraction limit and enabled imaging (theoretically at least) of a single molecule.

In an article about it in Chemistry in Australia I learnt that the light intensity required for this technique is 10 power 9 W per cm squared which makes our fluorescence pretty tame.

I looked at the 'popular' explanation. Quite amazing stuff.

 

109W/cm2 would be a lot of Blak-Rays, wouldn't it?!!
