Light-matter interaction plays a crucial role in the properties of light emission from single molecules. Here, we show that it can be probed with sub-molecular precision thanks to the atomically-confined electromagnetic field at the scanning tunneling microscope tip apex, which acts as a picocavity for localized plasmons. Such strong fields interact with the molecular exciton via Purcell, Lamb and Stark effects, which enable tuning the emission energy and line width. Hyper-resolved fluorescence maps of these two parameters can be understood as images of the static charge redistribution upon electronic excitation of the molecule, and the distribution of the dynamical charge oscillation associated with the molecular exciton, respectively [1].
