Abstract
The points of lithium fluoride needles are investigated by laser photo electronic projection microscopy. A situation in which a single atomic -size source of electrons - an F-2 color center - is observed in the r egion near the point is realized. As a result of the good fluorescence properties of these centers, these needles can be used as the active element of a scanning fluorescence microscope employing resonance tran sfer of electronic excitation energy.
