摘要
We suggest a type of scanning fluorescence microscope that is capable of resolving nanometer-size objects in the far field. The key idea is to use the spatial sensitivity of the dark state of electromagnetically induced transparency and localize an atomic excitation to a spot much smaller than the wavelength of light.
