I see red, I see red, I see red: Optically switchable compounds were synthesized whose visible fluorescence can be quenched down to 6% with light at 360-400 nm and then restored with red light from a diode laser. The molecular switch offers potential applications in data storage and far-field microscopy with spatial resolution far below the diffraction limit. (Chemical Equation Presented).
